Obstacles

 

Many great love stories are great because of all the obstacles the lovers had to overcome in order to be together.

Sometimes the Way seems so steep, so rocky, that walking along it feels impossible.

The rocks penetrate our feet making walking hard. The air is so acidic that breathing hurts, the storms are so great that it feels we will perish before we can weather them out.

But this is all illusion.

It is an illusion for some ineffable purpose I do not understand. I only know that it is up to us to weather it all, bear it all, learn from it and come through on the other side holding hands.

United we are a power to be reckoned with.

I promise never to let go of you no matter how far we fall, or how fiery the terrain becomes. You must promise me the same. There are lost love affairs that might have been epic had the lovers not given up and let go. 

We will not be one of them.
