Do you ever look at your life and wonder just where all the STUFF came from?
All the meaningless busyness and obligation?
All the distraction?
We gather clutter.
To what end???
It seems to me that what really counts in life is what we are each left with when you strip away EVERYTHING ..houses, cars...Yes, KIDS..(they grow up and move out-though they are an important priority when they are growing up.)....family , friends...toys...everything...
Picture yourself standing naked and alone facing the person you consider your significant other..
Who is this person you are left standing next to-do you KNOW them?
Can you laugh together?
Are you each sensitive to the others tears of joy and sorrow?
Can you REALLY communicate with this person?
Can you learn from each other?
Do you respect each other?
Is this person your BEST friend?
What do you have in common?
Do you have implicit trust in one another?
When you have sex, or make love can you loose yourself in that person?
It seems to me that THESE are the important questions..It IS what matters.
How many of us can say that in our lives we have tended to our relationships in such a way that we can answer each of the questions above in a positive way???
