What comes next is unknown, but learn to love it all.

The thing about love is that no matter how many times you vow to run from it, it finds you. Hiding places are wonderful especially after you have been hurt. But love finds you despite every attempt to block it out. When it does, you start remembering how wonderful it really is. For it is the forgetting that both protects us and hurts us at the same time.  But once you are reminded of the very thing that has inspired men and women since the beginning to time; you realize that this is something that you will never run from again. Which of course means that you could get hurt....again. But the decision to take that risk is a decision that reminds you that love, which brings the risk of profound pain, is also the act of profound joy. A metopher for life perhaps. We have to live it fully and absorb all of it.
 So the cabin in the woods is on hold for a fairytale cottage in the village. I could care less about 'Happily ever after,'for my happy is now.
