Distance, maintaining a - so that a beautiful encounter lasts longer

01/08/2010

You meet someone and immediately feel an attraction. This person is like a vase, filled with a precious essence that plunges you into a state of wonder; they inspire you, broaden your horizons and reveal to you the beauty of heaven and earth. Thank the Lord for having met this person, rejoice, and if you want to have this joy last a long time yet, try not to immediately want to become close to them physically; keep some distance. Enjoy each beautiful meeting you have as a moment of grace, let yourself be enlightened, vivified and strengthened by their presence. If you really take notice of this advice and try to apply it, your life will never be short of happy encounters, and because you will know how to appreciate them you will truly know what love is.
