The Freedom of Love
Embracing Unity Without Losing Individuality in Relationships
Love one another, but let it be free, not bound. Let it flow like a vast, moving sea between the shores of your souls. Share each other's cups, but drink not from the same cup. Offer one another your bread, but do not eat from the same loaf. Sing, dance, and celebrate together, but let each soul stand alone just as the strings of a lute, though they create harmony together, remain separate.
Give your hearts, but do not hand them over to each other’s keeping, for only the hand of Life itself can hold them truly. Stand side by side, yet not too close; for the pillars of a temple are strong because they stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress do not grow in each other’s shadow.

The Relentless Pursuit of Desire
If you want something deeply enough, you must be willing to go out and fight for it, to toil endlessly day and night for it. You must be prepared to sacrifice your time, your peace, and even your sleep to pursue it. If your desire for it drives you to madness, never allowing you to tire of the effort, and makes all other things seem trivial and unimportant in comparison then you are on the right path. If life feels empty and meaningless without it, and all your thoughts and plans revolve around it, if you are willing to sweat for it, worry for it, and meticulously plan for it, even shedding your fears of both divine and human judgment for its sake, then you are committed.
