If love be energy, and life be a dam, and passion be the water behind it…Then love is the gates that let the water flow through it. I have to say that if one were to open the flood gates all at once, there would be a spectacular moment and a flow, a rush, a torrent that rages uncontrolled…then nothing.
If one gives just a tiny bit freedom to trickle, there would be not enough flow to turn the generator, no notice of the intentions there…just a loss of potential and again, nothing.
But if one chooses to hold in reserve just enough to sustain a flow over time, to spin the veins into motion, and let the current flow…there would be light and another would notice. There would be heat and warmth would be a conduit for a bit of passion. There could be left a still and deep water behind that dam…enough to sustain a certain bit of mystery beneath the surface. There would be the essence of promise kept there for a future of the benefits of holding back just enough to keep things churning and certain…And surely there will always be enough desire to add a rainfall to the reserve there and keep life and love alive.
One should neither close nor fling open those locks. One needs to find a very happy and enticingly happy medium. Then there is scenery, a store of energy, promise, and the power of love to make it all worth while.
And too, a simple thankful air that faith is good and rewarded by all that comes from the will to hold enough in reserve to sustain a good and long life.
Have a great Wednesday all…and let a little extra out today, so others might water the garden that is their life and well being. Matthew
