Falling in Love~

Have you ever fallen in love?  Have you been so simply struck by the beauty of someone or something that you see them in a new light and fall madly in love with them all over again?   
For me that someone is Raine.  She is this magickal little being of light and love that never fails to surprise me with her depths.
She is a beautiful beating heart that just when I think I've seen all of her and know every part, she shows me something new, something more, and I fall again.
She is grace and flow defined, so very much deserving of her name.  A part of this world and yet so far beyond it.  She feels everything and understands that it is a gift yet selflessly accepts the heartache that can come with.
  I love that I cannot hide from her, that she sees me as no other ever has.  That we speak a language all our own.
She is not like any other that I have ever come across and yet a kindred spirit to so many.  She sees the things that lie within, the very potential in all the people she meets.
When left to her own devices she can bring about that potential before your very eyes, though you may not notice it happening until until you have forgotten what it even was before.
To watch from afar as she works is like seeing a field of fireflies dance across the twilight only to realise that they are faeries at the last second.  Breath taking. Spiritual. Magick.
I am so blessed to be her mother and a guardian of her light.  She makes me smile everyday and remember who I am, what I am here to do, and to never allow that sense of self to fade...
What a beautiful gift she has given me by being exactly who she is~My Love.

SO beautiful a testament to this Love! I have a picture of my son in this very place, too! He was a little younger than Raine at the time, and your words took me right back there. Beautiful writing and pictures, Mel. I know just what you mean...
