“No journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.” – Lillian Smith

I have learned so many things from this relationship. Mainly, I truly see that no one is living the dream life. You get out what you put in. There is no easier, softer way than plain and simply taking right action. The word “action” insinuates work. 

The grass is not greener on the other side; it is greener where you water it. For today, I continue to cultivate my little green pasture with this wonderful man, but I also see that the most important relationship in my life is with God. 

We may all be one, which I believe that we are, but while we are manifesting on earth we might as well accept the fact that the true nesting fortress for each and every one of us is God within us. 

I cannot depend on any person, place, or thing outside of myself for security. That is one of the loneliest ideas for me to accept. However, we do have each other to hold hands along the way. As Desiderata says, “With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it’s still a beautiful world.”
