Prayer for Cousin Kate

My cousin Katie leaves a week from tomorrow. She is the second Katie that I've loved tremendously who's left for Seattle. Her man is taking her away, and after some time I accepted that he is good enough to do such a thing.
We are tribal as they come, the cousins, fiercely hawk-eyed over things like love and those other important things that count. She, of all the cousins, is most like me in that distinct rebel way that Cash recently pointed out, or I like her. For that reason I hope for her more than any of them that she never, ever lose that fire.< Katie and I, with our dad's sameness in common too and all the irreverence and dirty smarts, have fought hard to own what it is we've got.

She seriously is one of the raddest chics I know.

Thankfully, her man is fucking rad, too! Hip and honest, wise and most important smart as hell in that clever way that cant be studied, bought or faked.Together I think that they both will help the other in doing their own authentic thing.

That is my prayer for them. And for safe travel blessings, that they remember always the importance in travelling well. Rolling with the punches cuz that's what enlarges the heart, but how that only happens if there's bravery enough to trust. Knowing the inverse relationship between knowing something wonderful's about to happen only coming true exactly because you choose to know it. And trusting, always remembering, in Love. Love within, the choice of this. And that choice is always always always the precursor to chance.
I pray too she remembers, if all else should ever fail, the love and the buoyancy of family and friends.

Travel well sweetones!! Love ya Katie grl xoxoxoxo
