Loving Alyosha, August 9 2018

Today I finished "A Book for Hearts and Minds" and continued re-reading "The Brothers Karamazov". I love Alyosha with a passion. The interactions between him and Kolya make me want to cry with joy. O Christ.
The lovely thing about loving him is that anything false or egotistical in that love slips and is exposed and is warmly forgiven, and laughed at.
Yes, you could read that as "loving Alyosha" or "loving Christ", because they are very much of the same nature.
Remind me that love is actually freedom.
I want to see You whole, and to be unafraid.
