we are slaves to two things in our lives:
1. physics
2. love
everything else is just a manifestation of those two things. i put physics first, because it can ruin love. and by love i don't mean just romantic love. i mean like the real thing. if love were a fabric, it would be denim. romantic love is something less durable. i don't know much about fabric, but if you wash the romantic love fabric too many times, it starts to fall apart. and that's physics. but wait. i'm not discounting romance. it just needs to be backed by something stronger. like denim. with lots of stitches and some rivets. god, i love rivets.
what if someone asks you: "show me your rivets" how do you respond to that? do you take off your clothes?
and not just receiving love. giving love and having love is maybe more important than getting it. you gotta get it, don't think that you don't. it's like coffee or gasoline. but, if you learn how to grow your own, then you've got an advantage. you can harvest it and hand it out to people who need a little extra on any given day. and loving things that you do... that just helps create more love for everyone.
some woody guthrie for everyone tonight.
Id like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of california stars
Id like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of california stars
Id love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, Id give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of california stars
Id like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of california stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my california stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass lke friendly wine
So, Id give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of california stars

Love's fabric is denim...it just takes time to put in all the stitches and rivits! You will be sewing this denim the rest of your life, everyday another stitch, another new rivit, maybe even mending someone else's denim and through that your demin becomes even stronger.
