When it gets you right 'there'

I'm a die-hard shipper and have been
so for as long as I can remember.  I
have shippy pictures as my computer
wallpaper, on a random shuffle, so
that I always have some of that beauty
to look at when I'm feeling low.  And
it always makes me smile and thank god
for my life.  But there are those times
when I look at these images and fully,
*fully* understand their impact on my
life - and it hits me like a tidal wave.
Sometimes I just cry... sometimes my
stomach just flips over.  I am suddenly
awash with warmth, surrounded by belief
and safety.  These moments are what we
live for - the times when beauty wins
out over all evil and we are able to
get a glimpse of our heaven.  We should
be thankful to each other for helping
us to get there.  Love, now, is flowing
through me, warm and tender.  I'm alive.
