I sent this to a very dear friend recently, and soon realised this is pretty much the ground of all my work, relating and relationships 
I can’t save you, or rescue you my love
I probably can’t even help or support you
But I can BE there!
I can stand
At the border of your pain and suffering
Without invading/interfering, spiritualising, trivializing
I’ve been there, i know what it’s like to have the daylights knocked out of you
To have no direction home..
But..
I can Love you
Unreservedly, completely, in a totally flawed way.
My own totally flawed way.
That may help..
And together we may discover
That we are divine tonight
Maybe the greatest song there is.
And don’t need anything from anyone.
No I cannot save you, heal you, fix you, set you right.
But I can Love you
No i cannot carry anything for you, your karmic debt, your baggage, the way you think and feel.
But I can Love you
And that may just be enough
If there’s one thing that has announced itself in me
It’s this,
In the depths of Hell or the Bliss of Heaven
Love can never be Absent.
