As long as we are in this life, we both are and are not. We are constantly changing, and yet the person who changes is always the same person. Even his changes express his personality, and develop it, and confirm him for what he is. A man is a free being who is always changing into himself. This changing is never merely indifferent. We are always getting either better or worse. Our development is measured by our acts of free choice, and according to our desires. //Thomas Merton

How to Save a Life

 

He said that I was beautiful...and that I deserve a guy who...(blah blah blah).  I told him I don't care about all that stuff...doesn't really matter to me.  I think he is that guy I "deserve" or he could become that "guy that I deserve." He said that "it is unbelievable that you are still single."

 

I was walking a few days ago around my neighborhood....there's a house with some nice flowers growing in the front. Someone had obviously picked a flower but just tossed it on the concrete walkway. I picked it up, placed it in my book as a bookmark and went home. At home I put it in a cup of water..it was a closed bud. Yesterday I noticed the bud changing from green to orange...Today in the morning as I woke up...the flower was opening up too. The sun was shining bright and the flower was coming alive with the sunlight. I was so amazed...to see the consciousness and energy and being in that flower...that we humans can't perceive. Now it's late and the flower has closed up because of the darkness. It's sleeping as I write.

Why I tell this story is bc I got such a good feeling, knowing that this is a flower that would have just been stomped on or died very quickly...was dying. Now it's on my windowsill thriving...it won't have a long life as if  it were planted in the ground...but at least it got a bit more of life...of sunshine....

I feel like I saved a life. I saved a life for a little while. I just feel bad seeing it's pollen...and knowing it's dying to reproduce and multiply itself.

Wow I just realized...it's funny.......my favorite kind of flowers....lilies....It is an orange pixie lily. And I guess I'm "Lily" also...haha....weird.

All I can say is we don't always love the right ones. You both need to feel that 'the right one' thing or it's over before it started.
