"For that which you love most in her may be clearer in her absence,
as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. "

It was maybe the same time, 14 years ago, that I gave this to my ex-girlfriend who til she left for another company was my constant companion, seatmate in the office, coffee break pal and confidante. I was like a fly and she was my flypaper.

Distance and familiar circumstances would always reopen the same feeling.

I'd like to share this today as I realize and know that deep in my heart that everything in life is second only to being with your love one.

"When your friend speaks her mind fear not the "nay" in your own mind,
nor do you withhold the "ay".
And when she is silent your heart ceases not to listen to her heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations
are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in her may be clearer in her absence,
as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught."

Oh, my ex-girlfriend? She's now my wife.

Today is the start of our birthday week. We may not be together for the past week but the distance is not stopping us from being together, albeit not physically.

:) 24 hours to go! Unless last year happens again.
