So yesterday I put a really meaningful quote up here. Deep and profound, I said "let it consume you"... reading it again today I got to thinking that when we let love or any other feeling consume us it hampers our ability to think straight and exercise judgement accordingly. When we are consumed by a thought or a person that thing becomes the very centre of our lives and anything else secondary. It impairs us but it gives us a wonderful high; an exquisite sense of elation.
Focusing, or moving forward from, those three words I shared with you earlier, one needs to be careful of how love affects them. When states of sleeping and waking start to blur and every moment your thoughts drift to another, dreams are fantasies of reality and reality is your dreams coming true you are clearly in a state of bliss. What about everything else in your life though? Work? Family? Friends? Leisure? Do we let it go all too soon? So that when we have been consumed and are returned to the world, used, sometimes broken, we have nothing left to go back to for we forgot the world and we come back to find the world has forgotten us.
I search for that place where I'm a little bit consumed and a little bit weary, where I give all that I can of myself but hold some back, where all my time is his but sometimes his place is to observe. It's a hard path to tread but it helps to maintain some sense of self. I don't know if that makes any sense, does it?
Here's a lovely video, and though I already knew all of this, it has some thought provoking ideas.
