LOVE as LABOR:
The entity of love can be a spry, mysterious creature that catches us by surprise. It woos our senses and intriques our minds.
However, it is a realty for many of us that love often can be laborious. It can be an organism that requires tending, feeding, shelter, and discipline. So often we take it for granted, neglecting it as it dwindles in the corners of our lives. And then we weep when we smell the decay.
Love is a labor I try to consider a priviledge. Maybe even an indulgence. Some work was meant to be so excruciating, it becomes indulgent.
We should all welcome such indulgences in our lives.
-Robin L. Gillis
p.s. of course love doesn't have to be laborious. http://www.flickr.com/photos/robingillis/3306594798/in/set-72157614815738465/
