courage

overcoming this obstacle, planting my flag in the top, king of the mountain. then looking around at the vistas and seeing a new possibility or direction to move towards using the muscles courageously developed in this adventure to move ahead to new horizons, joyfully attaining the desires of my heart.

Love

just a thought to spark more thoughts:

love is not about restricting someone to what please me and makes my life more "complete." it is about wanting someone to have their heart's desires, the things that make them more whole. no matter what. and finding joy in their joy, and sorrow in their sorrow. and being there, hanging in, through it all. being surrounded by their loving arms, in the safe harbor of their love. whether it looks like what you thought it would or not. so sometimes loving means stepping aside, more distance. and sometimes not.
