"In the beginning there was hope, faith, trust and lust and love. You replaced hope with despair, faith with doubt, trust with fear, lust with loathing. Love the glue that held it all together, amazingly was still there. It changed shape and no longer acted as a conduit for all that was good. Love became the fixative that allowed me to hold on to the very essence of everything bad"
My journey entry from a few years ago. A reminder of why reflection is important to enjoying the now and planning for the future. Love, a tremendously powerful emotion was assigned a role in my life that did not belong. Love was an all-purpose excuse, a get out of jail free card, an emotion that I refused to allow to evolve as relationships evolved and ended. That has changed for me. Love is now something that is allowed to grow or wither as the natural course of the relationship with the one who is loved. Trust, hope, faith, lust and love, these remain the cards I play with. Chances are they will never change face value again. But should that happen, I am always prepared to just shuffle my deck and keep on playing. The game of life is much too wonderful to fold on.
