M,
It is no wonder that love
is portrayed in such terrible ways. We have not cracked it at all. There are so
many rooms in that house. Who can climb all those walls? Who would want to? In
the mystery lies the appeal but no mystery can go on forever. After a while, we
want an honest assessment of what it all means and where it is all going.
In truth, when people say
it is easy or it is very hard, I can see both sides. There is an ease to being
with your partner that makes constant explanations and justifications obsolete.
There is also a hard track of it that is two distinct people forging a life out of
thing air. This seeming contradiction is not as strange as it appears at first
look. The best partnerships will hit the rocks at many moments in a single day.
The changes that happen will be between us and through us to each other. It is
death to self but life to everything else. We are made whole by breaking up
into parts together. The mystery is solved in this breakdown. There is glory
and the light and the pain and the guile and the lesson in love. There is the
start of the end of life as a lonely planet.
