There is something special about the first warm days of the year. Snow is all but forgotten (even if it stay til April), school slows and eventually ends, summer plans are made and the dark northeast becomes a tourist magnet for city dweller and hibernating animal alike. I have always thought the term "spring fever" for young men and women is an intriguing phenomenon. Somehow, the weather changing gets people, in body and mind, to feel Alive and rejuvenated, ready to seek out another, hoping for romance...
yet there is a correspondence beyond a summer romance we truly seek.
There is a Hope that does not disappoint,
There is a Love that never fails...
or keeps score
As a good friend reminded me recently, Love is the one thing we never stop seeking as a human race. Maybe it is a part of our being, celestial in nature, cut to the core. Maybe it is written on our hearts. Maybe it is part of the fantasy we attempt to breathe life into. Regardless, Love, and the pursuit therein, is the most cosmically engaging aspect of the human existence and the element that proves we are not so evolutionary after all. Why would a species hold onto an element of their being that consistently destroys and stretches their very existence? And why, upon reaching this love, do they realize it is flawed and many times not enough? How can we be made for this, yet seek more?
this summer, make sure your Passion has purpose <><;
There is something special about the first warm days of the year...
