I love you,

She said in silence, and the whole world has changed. 

She looked at the reflection in the mirror and paused. 

Sitting in silence and simply listening.

Listening to the sounds of burning fire in the fireplace, 

Fire so strong, wild and passionate.

Listening to the wind blowing outside, getting stronger and stronger, 

The wind so powerful, wild and fearless.

I love you,

She felt a warm flow inside her chest, and smiled.

She smiled at her reflection in the mirror,

She smiled at the fierce fire and at the violent wind.

She looked at her past and paused again.

Sitting in silence and simply listening. 

Listening to her heart beating.

Listening to her quiet deep breath.

I love you,

She whispered quietly, and something has changed.

She noticed lightness and openness in the body,

Slow flow of her graceful movements, 

Peace and confidence in her posture. 

She looked at her present and paused again.

Sitting in silence and simply listening. 

Listening to the absolute silence of the room.

I love you,

She repeated again, and her eyes were calm and thoughtful,

Her eyes were gentle and serious, and she was thinking.

And then she looked at her reflection in the mirror and paused.

Sitting in silence and simply listening.

Listening to the sounds of the burning fire in the fireplace, 

Listening to the fearless wind blowing outside.

Listening to herself.

I love you.
