The essence of life is renewal. If we are truly alive, we are re-born everyday. We cannot assimilate even the most insignificant thing without being affected by the experience. Every minute offers the potential for newness and discovery, for realization and actualization, for new opportunities to love and be loved.
We spend most of our lives among the same people day in and day out. On the surface, they appear unchanging and it does not occur to us that perhaps beneath their surface a whole world of change may be going on, undetected and unappreciated.
Even if we resist change, it is said that at the moment we are born we are already moving on our inevitable path to death. It is no secret that our bodies undergo dramatic changes. It should be acceptable that our minds, our tastes, our opinions, our beliefs and our dreams are also changing each day.
Lovers know that they can never assume anything about the people they love. They must allow each person, each object, each day, each moment, to tell its own story. They know that their senses may betray them, but that through love they are encouraged toward the acceptance of a lifetime of new beginnings.
Speak about the environment of love, if we are wise, we strive to create our loving environment. We are content where passion does not overshadow fondness; where physical needs are no more important than emotional needs. Differences are celebrated here, not just tolerated, and respect grows instead of being allowed to erode. This is a place where there is real sharing rather than indifference. This loving environment encourages when nothing else does and nourishes like nothing else can.
