The greatest gift

I don't understand how love can end.

Even after going through a divorce I don't understand it.

Contracts can be broken.  Friendships can end.

But love is the foundation for existence.

Choosing to embrace it, acknowledging its existence and standing fast within its boundaries I stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods and subsequently I am given the gift of the gods; the ability to create life in my own image.

The chance to walk hand in hand while nurturing and shaping other beings who may someday do the same, is the greatest gift of all.

All the magic in the books, all the misery in the stories, all the fables and parables, the myths and the wonder embrace this quest.  It is the quest for eternity.
