When we are children we do not yet have an identity. We learn about who we are through the mirroring that we get from our parents.

You are atop the summit, and you sparkle to one another like diamonds with many facets of light.

Emotion is the language of the ego. Emotion is the most wonderful honesty about how you feel, think and see life. But if you think your emotions are anything but a witnessing of your own “unconsciousness”, you may have a big problem in life. Emotions block love. No relationship, sacred or otherwise, can thrive when a couple considers their emotions a foundation. Those emotions are so changeable.

In matters of love and sex, of course, as with many other things, men and women are not in the same page. Men need sex to give love; women need love to have sex.

Many of us are afraid of time. As each second passes, it marks one more moment that our life has past by, and marks one more moment that we are closer to the time given to us on this earth. However, when one is suffering the emotional pain of a lost love, time can be the savior to our souls.

For many, the excitement is in the chase and for others the feeling of commitment can become a strain, the recognition that the love of your life is only human and has their faults makes you question your judgment, and the disappearance of those little surprises can out a dampener on the whole thing.

The above statement is not merely an amateur poet’s attempt at rhyming; it is a fact.
