"Deep waters are liberating. One dive feels you weightless within, and those on the shore cannot see you anymore. It takes courage to take that dive. Perhaps that is why real love is oceanic. The loss of self in something larger. But even if your partner and you are swimming in the same ocean, depths may remain unexplored.

The moment may weigh upon you pleasantly, but you do not have to respond similarly. Let your mind contemplate and unravel the full force of the three words uttered until your heart can confirm back.

"Love without respect is like a tall building without a foundation. Ask yourself what makes you share mutual respect? People change and so do behaviours. Is there a sustainable source for that respect? Do we really know each other’s inner core and respect one another for the same? There could also be a different sustainable source.

You inspire the direction in which to move forward together, yet, most importantly, you let me follow my heart and walk my path.” Expressed she. All cosmic relations are based on freedom of expression. The garden flowers bounce and sway with the wind to their heart’s content. In turn, the wind blows in the direction of its choosing.
