The lighthouse in the photo below is Kilauea Point Light, located on the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. The land the lighthouse sits on has been designated as a protected “safe place” for seabirds and other local wildlife. It is a wonderful place to visit! There is so much life!
So too, in the same way, love is a protected “safe place.” And as a result, there is life and flourishing! Relationships which are a “safe place” are beautiful!
One of my all-time favorite quotes:
“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keeping what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.”
– George Eliot
Love is a safe place.
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” – 1 John 4:18
“Love does no harm to its neighbor.” – Romans 13:10
