It is not a small thing for our Souls to wish for – for them to long for the eternity of a diamond’s destiny. And yet isn’t that the true meaning of living; to strive to live lives not only long but full? And isn’t that the true weight of our worship; to openly show a raw & unassailable gratitude for life itself, however brief? And indeed, isn’t it also true that there is no greater act of reverence for whatever we each call “God” – no more potent method for becoming one with the Divine, and therewith inhaling our own immortality — than to brazenly Care for another in times of our own lack or fear? For to revere our own lives via such a willful sacrifice for another’s is to simultaneously reflect & magnify the awesome beauty of our Celestial Beloved; thereby boldly announcing to the Darkness that we refuse to be in any way diminished by the inescapable brevity of our flesh-bound time.

Long live such moments …
Long live such a LOVE.

(inspired by Cormac McCarthy)
