The Rocky Mountains, the Swiss Alps, the black forest of Germany, the lush green landscape of Ireland, the white sands of Cancun flood my imagination with his beauty…created by the Beautiful One.

What would that look like? Who has the capacity to give me that type of love?
There are only two beings that I know of who are able to love like this. One is a four legged creature found
