Reading Between the Lines

Love and truth and beauty…we are constantly searching for their signs… until we learn the subtle art of reading between the lines. In our cribs…lying on our backs is most likely the very first place we learn to read between the lines of the smiles on a parent’s face. Reading between the lines of their smiles as they beam down from up above… we find their beauty…we discover their truth…we experience their love. As we grow a little older eventually there comes a day we learn to read between the lines of everything our parents’ do…and say. Between the lines of their smiles, their eyes, their touch…we begin to read… how they are trying in this life to give us…everything we need. There comes a time when we’re older, however, when we think what they are telling us is unkind and unfair… but if we take the time to read between the lines we find their love is waiting there. And If we’re lucky enough to find someone to love…a partner…where our two loves intertwine…. we find joy in spending the rest of our lives reading between each other’s lines. As we grow in age and wisdom…the more and more our planet turns… the more experiences we have…the more and more we learn how, when we read between the lines of life so much insight is provided… how between the lines is where… love and truth and beauty…always have resided. And as together we grow old and wrinkled… when it comes to love and truth and beauty… we longer need search for signs… because in all our years together… we have gotten pretty good at reading between the lines.
