Maybe if love is not a little scary and out of our control, then it is not love at all. And then, no matter how different their unseen order is from mine, ask what I can do to support their vision. Maybe I’m just supposed to ask what they feel and know and imagine. Maybe my role with the people I love is not imagining the truest, most beautiful life for them and then pushing them toward it. Maybe love is respecting what your people feel, trusting that they know, and believing that they have their own unseen order for their lives pressing through their own skin.
I am beginning to play with the idea that love is trusting that other people Feel, Know, and Imagine, too. I think that control might actually be the opposite of love, because control leaves no room for trust-and maybe love without trust is not love at all. Now I think that maybe control is not love. “I am beginning to unlearn what I used to believe about control and love.
