Razor sharp or strong as steel?

“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” - Thomas Fuller

What a jewel to find today. The process of finding a quote as a starting point comes from something I have done since Marc returned to Las Vegas over three years ago now. You see I write cards, almost every day and mail them to Marc.

 

In the beginning I found quotes from Japanese philosophy, knowing that Marc appreciates this culture. Then it continued to evolve. It is a process I adopted for my blog too, because it allows me to reflect upon the wise words of others. It allows me to ponder more deeply than just a smear on a FB page. I noticed that this daily investment of time and careful consideration brings with it a presence of mind. Each time I write I am close to my heart and the place I have made for Marc. I hope that each time he reads he is aware of my presence in my words. Intention is another word to describe this process of choosing to be all there and this ability to live fully, give fully with heart.

 

I believe I understand Mr. Fuller all too well. Absence creates an emptiness we long to fill. Presence comforts us and makes us whole. If you have not found presence in your world lately, don’t worry. You can be the presence in your life and be your own strength.

 

Namaste!
