Love's Foundation

From time spent with someone, familiarity is gained. From familiarity, knowledge and love grows. If we do not spend time together, then how can we say we are connected? I am guilty of living for a time in this delusion. Not because I did not value it, or because I substituted anything for it, but because for love's namesake I worked so hard that I forgot the object of my love. I think many men have fallen victim here, and have gone on in life serving an empty shell that warps slowly away from their first love.

Tonight I will stop this. I will return to my first love, and spend time simply learning. Tonight, I will put down the gifts I have been given, and be still. I cannot live with my core motivation out of touch with the core motivator, so I will stop even the good and great things in my life, because I have found something more important. This is a pearl of great value, and I will sell everything I am just to touch it.

Today it stops. Goodnight.
