Safe

Thor is sleeping on my stomach and my arm. I think he hates my phone. He bites it sometimes and plays with the screen. When he cuddles me, purring as he snuggles into me, I feel safe. He makes me want to come home. It's been a long time since I have felt that way.
There's a circle of friends that comes together biweekly to laugh and love and share food. They are mostly Quaker, with a few others. I come from a completely different world. I have had to build a context to understand them, and even now I am learning that I don't know what it is to be born and raised Quaker or deeply entrenched anyway. But I love the way they love. I cannot push them away, and there's a safety in that too.
And my heart is stirring again. I am beginning to know before it happens once more. It's a love song the two of us share. Sometimes I wonder why He tells me His secrets. I think it's just so I will still know He's holding onto my hand.
I feel safe tonight. I feel loved and happy. I don't know how long it will last, but I am choosing to treasure today as one of the good days. May you know safety today too.
All my love.
