One factor I’ve realized about love by being with Susie is…This second is all we’ve ever acquired.
We’re by no means promised one other second.
EVER.
Once we first acquired collectively, one of many issues that we needed to sort out proper from the beginning was the query of OUR age distinction.
Susie is 16 years older than me, and this query got here up about what it was gonna be like once we acquired older.
What’s it gonna be like when she’s 80 and I’m 64 or she’s 90 and I’m 74?
What a ridiculous factor to consider.
That is ridiculous as a result of what I noticed is that in that second after I first had that fearful story about our age distinction and what it meant, I used to be solely 35 years outdated on the time and to date out into the long run that I had misplaced the great thing about the current second.
What I’ve seen about love by a easy factor like our age distinction is that it forces us–and it forces me–to essentially keep current on this second.
Not tomorrow.
Not subsequent week.
Not subsequent 12 months or 20 years from now.
However proper now on this current second.
This brings up questions like…
What’s on supply on this current second?
Can I open my coronary heart to her?
Can she open her coronary heart to me?
One of many issues that I’ve seen each in myself and within the folks I’ve labored with previously is how usually we get to date out into the long run that our ideas and fears take over and run the present referred to as our life.
Once I realized…
Actually realized…
That this second is all we ever have…
All the pieces modified.
This was when the fears concerning the future dissipated they usually pale away, and have been now not a problem.
What I got here to see was…
The fears maintain themselves whenever you drop all of your tales concerning the future and also you give attention to this second–and bringing like to that second.
That’s what I needed to do with Susie within the early days of our relationship.
By simply specializing in THIS second and exhibiting up as love, the remainder has unfolded in lovely methods I couldn’t have predicted for 26 years now.
As a result of this second is all we ever have and since I’ve realized the significance of THIS second and the way it truly creates a tremendous love that may final.
Susie and I are going to be speaking about extra issues like this that open up extra prospects for love in our model new program that begins on November eighth referred to as “a Million Potentialities for Love.”
