It seems that there is a resounding echo from many voices to slow down this season. Take your time. Do not get overstressed. I wonder what source these warnings come from? I would like to think that they are from The King ... "Slow down My Children. Remember who you are and who I have made you. Remember that this time of year, is to remind you of My Promise of Love! Be at Peace. Have My Joy. Do not be swept up into a chaotic frenzy for fleshly fulfillment. Love one another, as I love you."
Love .... it is that simple.
I was reminded of a love letter, written many years ago. It was written on paper, not emailed. It was written with a pencil, not palm pilot tool. It was written from the heart in a moment of dire need to relate to a lover that was not close by.
Remember the ones you love. I hope you enjoy the letter and this season.
"Good morning on July 7th -
Even when I am in bed my thoughts rush to you, my eternally beloved, now and then joyfully, then again sadly, waiting to know whether fate will hear our prayer.
To face life I must live altogether with you or never see you. Yes, I am resolved to be a wanderer abroad until I can fly to your arms and say that I have found my true home with you and enfolded in your arms can let my soul be wafted to the realm on blessed spirits. Aalas, unfortunately it must be so. You will become composed, the more so as you know that I am faithful to you; no other woman can ever possess my heart. Never - never. Oh God, why must one be separated from her who is so dear?
Yet my life in Vienna at present is a miserable life. Your love has made me both the happiest and the unhappiest of mortals. At my age, I now need stability and regularity in my life. Can this coexist with our relationship? Angel, I have just heard that the post goes every day andtherefore I must close, so that you may receive the letter immediately. Be calm; for only be calmly considering our lives can we achieve our purpose to live together. Be calm. Love me. Today. Yesterday. What tearful longing for you. For you. You. My life. My all. All good wishes to you. Oh, do continue to love me. Never misjudge your lover's most faithful heart.
Ever yours.
Ever mine.
Ever ours.
