Known

Hats and canoes , they know me well! The journey to knowing and loving, and being known and loved feels all kinds of risky, exciting and recently hard enough to wonder if it's worth it. 
But the growing joy of friends 
to laugh and cry with,
to talk or not, 
to adventure and to laze around at home with, 
to share 'real' with,
is slowly proving that it is worth it. Absolutely. 

"To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is... It is what we need more than anything." Tim Keller
