Letter (17th July 2008)

Dear Love,


This journey is hard. A real test of our strength and the truth of the love we have for the other, or don't ....

I believe now that perhaps the test we're being put to is this:
In finding a way to be selfless
when the other weakens,
to support the other in these times
and remind him/her of the terms of contract
made with one's self
in honour of one's self.

And to not let the other compromise on this, before thinking of our self....

I want to be this for you - and would ask that you be the same for me? Do you hold such strength of will and heart? Do I?

I do not know why we were thrown together in a way such as this. At times it feels like a cruel game played by the gods. With extreme and unpredictable moments of luscious lazy days, sweet smelling scents of pleasure, and ruthless storminess....

Is our endurance being tested, challenged, pushed to its limits, in preparation for a later time - I do not know (as much as my heart wishes for this, yet knows this to be futile - it is not possible) ....

So we'll just need to ride along the current of the present with only the horizon of now visible to our eyes. And each trust our own inner guide to show us the right way .....
