No Labor Too Great, No Scheme Too Wild
January: On Existence
January 22
Inspiration for today's reflection comes from Mary Shelley's novel The Last Man.
What they don’t tell you before signing up for this wild adventure of existence is that near most every day you will be encumbered with the irrationality and intensity of love and fear.
We will go to extremes to protect those we love from harm--doing whatever it takes. No labor too great and no scheme too wild.
We must also acknowledge and accept the fact that to love someone means that we will eventually lose them. And that it is the very fact that you will one day lose those you hold dear--somehow, someway--that intensifies your love, that offers you the chance to be grateful for every day, hour, minute, and second that you get to spend here with them.

- Reflection Question: Who are the idols of my soul? How will I put my fear aside to better love them today, knowing full well that we are not promised the same chance tomorrow?
