One Great Overriding Principle

There is but one great and overriding principle in life. That is the magic and power of love. Only the deep embrace of someone you love is capable of stopping time, overturning misfortune, reversing pain, stopping fear and revitalizing your soul. The next time you find yourself in a relationship that feels true and secure -- the next time you find yourself in the arms of another person who values you as much as you do them, remember to grab them tightly and make the moment stretch out into infinity.

Although time itself may be finite and our time on Earth an even smaller fraction, close your eyes and grab them with all your strength and push time away. Feel them tightly against you and tell yourself that, despite the fact the universe will come and go, that very moment the two of you now share will be etched permanently in its proper place in the great temporal schism that holds all tales and eternal memories.

In that very moment, hold them as long as possible and just when you feel it is time to let go, squeeze them even harder for just a few seconds more. Give your entire being to the moment, your entire soul to theirs and let all your deepest passions and dreams come to the surface so that they may, however briefly, melt and mix with the person you are with.

Our lives are much too short and our love too infinite to do anything less.
