Wait. This Was The First Lesson I Had Learned About Love. The Day Drags Along, You Make Thousands Of Plans, You Imagine Every Possible Conversation, You Promise To Change Your Behavior In Certain Ways -- And You Feel More And More Anxious Until Your Loved One Arrives.

I Was Trying To Come Round To The Idea That There Might Be An Invisible Reality Capable Of Interfering In Our Lives, But The Only Reason I Did So Was Because Of A Love I Didn't Want To Believe I Felt But Which Was Continuing To Grow In A Subtle, Devastating Way.

There Are Almost Imperceptible Cracks In The Mountain Rock. There Are Stones So Polished By Storms That They Have Become As Slippery As Ice. But If You Know Where You Are Placing Each Footstep, You Will Notice The Traps And How To Get Around Them.

When You Are Enthusiastic About What You Do, You Feel This Positive Energy. It's Very Simple.

We Are Afraid Of Losing What We Have.

Walk Firmly And With Joy, Without Being Afraid Of Stumbling. All Your Movements Are Being Watched By Your Allies That Will Help You When Necessary.
