Heart beating through his chest, he gathered up the nerve to tell her, to let her know how he feels and to ask her out on a date.
He pushed his way past fear, grabbed a folding chair on the way toward his unknown destiny, turned it backwards and straddled it...right next to the chair she was sitting in!
He said, startling her, "You don't know me, but I've been watching you and I like you. I don't normally do this but I'd like to take you out to eat one day, you don't have to give me an answer right now but just know I'll be back for one!" And just like that, he was gone!
Fast forward almost thirty years later, their friendship is dangling by a hairline thread. The details of how it got to this condition is not as nearly as important as what is keeping that thread from popping!
Everything in life happens for a reason yet unless and until that reason is first realized then understood, the lesson it came to teach will go unrecognized and the whole point, missed.
Because there is a reason for everything, every opportunity made available is taken however acceptance/willingness/openness must be offered for the lesson to be received and understood.
Only from this point is the gift of Knowlege recognized. Recognize is appropriate here as opposed to conceptualize because Truth stands on its own - words are not necessary where Truth is concerned.
When acceptance/willingness/openness is offered in replace of fear, in ALL its clever disguises, Truth is clearly visible in the midst of what may seem like a hopeless case.
The only Truth is LOVE - changeless, endless, fearless and priceless. Its value can never be measured because it is not of this world and neither are we.
We are ONE. A reencounter is called for here considering nothing happens by chance. What is meant to be already is and that's LOVE.
Realize it then embody it for that is the purpose of LOVE which takes no chances, it just Knows. Peace
