things to be found, pt 2

goals, in the concretely abstract

1) the more love you give, the more love you have.
we studied love in depth a few summers ago (well, as much as anyone or group can study such a thing). An overriding conclusion was reached: if you really love someone, there must be a pure subtraction of the ego. A submersion of that which will benefit you in an effort to selflessly urge the one you love to pursue that which will make them happy (the stickler for most people is that, sometimes, while loving them is good for you, it may not be what they want. And if you truly love them, then, in an ideal situation, you would still continue with that same level of care and wish them the best. Doesn't happen often though). Not to the degree in which you damage yourself, but in an effort to truly attain a perfect sense of emotional grace- because thats what love should be, right? Mutual aide, a balance, a sense of longevity and symmetry and true altruism. Because that's how all of us long to be adored. Because once you strip away the games, the manipulations, the twisted cords of miscommunication, boredom, stagnancy, and self doubt, all that should remain is this pure, energetic vine of connection. Because that's how all of us deserve to be adored. This lesson must be brought back to the forefront.

2) getting/learning the most one possibly can from being humbled. Despite (or, better yet, because of) the heart ache of it.

3) continuing study of what makes the emotional physical, and how feelings can manifest into concrete actions/objects/places/maladies/miracles.
