Reciprocal

I posted part of this in the comments on ResurrectionSong:

It is indeed rare for a person to see someone at the very bottom of an abyss in life and to have the love, courage, strength, and grace to go into what they themselves cannot see or understand in order to bring whom they love back up into the sun and warmth of life.

Kris and I share everything without fear of judgement or condemnation. We rely on the unique gifts that we bring to the relationship to aid in understanding the world or situations or people and even ourselves, better and with more mercy, charity, forbearance, and compassion. We often say about one another that while I bring color to her spectrum, she delineates mine.

I consider myself a very strong person (those of you who read my blog from the beginning know why) and I really don't need many people, but I think I would truly suffocate if she wasn't breathing her soul into my atmosphere.
