The Consequence of love....

I can never give up on love because I believe it is the most powerful force on earth. I understand why people fear and avoid love though. It is hard to relinquish some of ones freedoms for another over long periods of time. To give up for the betterment of those involved in that union. To give up fear of hurt, to give trust, to believe that the other or others love you enough to do right by you because they believe so deeply in what you share. It is in this voluntary submission that we desire to receive safety and commitment to building something great.

In essence, love is sacrifice. Love says I take this great risk because I feel in my spirit that you are a gift to me to be cherished, to be nurtured, to teach me. Love says I choose you above all others. You are my best friend and confidant. It says I know that there are no guarantees, that this is a journey I willingly take with you. It says that all we give up in building our hopes and dreams is a consequence of our deep and abiding affection for one another, for our love...
