A Way to Make Love Stay: You've Got To Give It Away

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to see the ways in which you yourself have altered"

- Nelson Mandela

Whether it be a place, or a moment, a memory, or a friendship... we've changed from who we once were.

The simple decision to give in.

You give in so that you'll fit in.

Then, in that moment..you know you've been altered.

Someone once told me, "do what makes your heart SING. That is where you are meant to be."

Then, in that moment of alteration...your soul forgets the words, your pulse forgets the rhythm, your brain forgets the melody and your heart forgets who you were.

You forget.

The change is swift and takes your very identity.

If you can't face yourself. . .who, then, do you have.

What is it that you are willing to risk losing?  The things that keep your very life? Are you willing to lose the song your heart sings?


. . . . I'm not.
