A little pain, a lot of love

Author's name: Nirvana Abu Zaid

Love arrives overflowing with kindness. For the first time, you feel whole, enveloped in a lightness that allows you to run freely through the streets in your new dress. You suddenly discover that you love the gentleness of the sun, the scent of grass, the blueness of the sea, and sleeping on the sand. You carry warmth into your cold mornings, on a long journey, donning your childhood to become like fleeting clouds, shapes surrounded by the joy of pleasures whose sweetness we never knew. Something changes within you, something radical. You become lighter, more delicate, and expansiveness finds its way into your soul. Distant lights find their way to you. Love comes and carries you to the ends of the earth, to the other side of the vast world. You dwell in its embrace, offering vows in supplication, and your heart laughs and shines as if it had never burned.
