And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.

- 1 John 4:16-17

Speak the truth, the simple truth, complexity will reveal itself...abandon your shovels.

It is good, that my chest rises and falls with breath.
Also that my stomach lurches, and blows gas bubbles when I'm hungry.

Today the sun is bright. The leaves have lost their dying luster, now they lie, brown and dry.

It is right that I make up songs and sing them in car rides alone and right to give praise.
It's okay that I cry while I sing the imperfect melody.

I am in love.
Alive in love.
There's no romance.
Love is, as love does...it is what it is...
When you live inside,
there's no forward or back, there is only the moment, and that's all that can be handled by human hands. Love according to the past is pain. In the future love becomes fantasy.

I am Johanna-nonny-nooner, yet since we are allowing the truth to be simple, I'll let you call me Johanna.
