“In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.” Maya Angelou
Found You Of course, I drifted off at some point, lost in the melodrama of north, true north and magnetic north, which all seemed very northy to me, a desperate invocation of the obvious made darker, instead, I set my compass to love and found you. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

How beautifully this line captures the distractions, confusion … It just captures that “NORTHY” feeling. 😎😎😎

This line made me smile big:
“which all
seemed very northy to me”
And made me think of the thing a rental car GPS once said in a British woman’s accent, every time we didn’t obey the directions: “Recalculating route!”

I think love is the only true compass. Another Paul said it was the greatest of all the three great things. If I think of all the suffering in this world, the musings of Ivan Karamasow, the only thought that makes me think that God is not a total jerk is the though that this circumstance is that this is the only way we can learn how to love. That makes me not want to turn in my ticket. The stakes are real and perilous and in the end any other northy imperative just is not worth it. Of course l labor under a particular little heresy that God may not actually exist outside of the universe (thanks to the strange and confusing Nauvoo Cosmology), and May just be trying to bring us home in the only way possible. Paul, glad my reader let me stumble on this today, perfect for a girl on her honeymoon with her wife. The beach picture fits.
