Proximity

Tonight as I went to get ready for bed my home felt even more empty. My girls are gone and my heart longs for the embrace of my beautiful wife.

I miss the wheezy sound of my daughter sleeping.
I miss the crackling laughter she makes when I get home.

Most of all I feel this tension. My heart and spirit are close and connected to Lee Anne yet my arms are empty.

We were made for close proximity. No amount of photo graphs, profile pics or even FaceTime chats can make up for the realness of physical proximity. Humans need to feel the person to have a fully connected experience, this only happens in the same space.

Tonight I am connected to her but soon my heart will have it’s satisfaction in my beloved.

Proximity matters.
