Love is about appreciation.

In love, I've often tried (unsuccessfully) to possess my partner, to control who they are and what they do. It always ends up the same way... I don't think I need to tell you how.

Therefore, I now choose to love my partners now as they are. To let them be. To appreciate them with childish curiosity. To allow them to be exactly as they are and cherish that unique being.

A flower can be the ultimate reminder of impermanence. What object, more beautiful, can last only a few short moments. But in those moments, I can look upon the flower lovingly, smell its divine fragrance and feel its radiance.

Who are the flowers in your life?
