"Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires."

It's easy to forget in our daily lives, with the people and things forever pulling at our attention and competing for our time, that this world doesn't revolve around us. In fact, we revolve WITH the world. You and I are in orbit TOGETHER, letting the beauty of it all swirl around and past us everyday. We become momentarily aware of our insignificance in the immensity before and beyond us, then shrink into the mediocrity of routine to quell the growing suspicion that none of it ever really mattered in the grand scheme of things. Yet being the mere mortal that I am, and you are as well, I try keep my focus on the here and the now. I worry about the who's and the what's (the when, where and why's, sometimes even the how's!) I take care of the little issues while planning for the bigger picture. I seek love and security knowing I can't take any of it with me in the end. Days are filled with fighting and kissing, dismissing and missing, conversations about everything and nothing at all...
