I know you’ll be away for five days, oh Lawd!
And the last time you travelled, it was hard not because of the distance, but because we hadn’t planned for the quiet.
You’re the kind of person who doesn’t need to plan much. You go where you need to go, figure it out when you get there, and somehow it all works out.
But this time, instead of sending you off into that quiet with nothing but guesswork, I thought I’d leave you something to take with you, small rituals, one for each day.
Because love, when it’s real, deserves to be intentional.
Day One – Monday
At exactly 7:00 a.m., grab a coffee.
No contact, no words.
Just know that I’ll be doing the same.
For those few quiet minutes, we’ll be sitting under the same sky, apart, but thinking of each other.
Day Two – Tuesday
I’ve left you a trail of words, quotes that describe what I’d like to say but can’t.
You’ll find them tucked into my copy of Untamed somewhere you have been before.
Be careful!
Let them follow you through the day.
Let them remind you that presence can linger, even in absence.
Day Three – Wednesday
Every time you think of me, make a mark, a note, a number, a word.
And when you are back, tell me how many times you did.
Day Four – Thursday
This one’s yours.
You owe me a note.
You know you do.
Your turn to pick up the pen and write, not perfect, not polished, just honest.
No excuses.
Day Five – Friday
Think about the day we first met.
What would you have done differently?
For me, I wouldn’t change a thing.
It was perfect.
This is my little gift to you while you’re away: five small anchors to keep us connected, even in silence.
Perhaps this isn’t about constant communication; maybe it’s about creating meaning inside the quiet.
If you, too, are apart from someone you love, try this.
Make distance an art form.
Let the silence become your shared language.
Let every sunrise be your quiet “I miss you.”
Because sometimes, love doesn’t need to be loud.
It just needs to be felt.
