The Most Valuable Resource on Earth - 1/17/12

"Time is the most valuable resource on this Earth...so if I'm trying to spend it with you, you should know you're worth a lot to me. You've got to be, if that's what I'm spending. Time may be neverending, but it's also impossible to regain. Every moment is its own, and there'll never be another like it again. These instances of intimacy often engender intimations of forever. We won't exist that long, so we'll have to be more clever. Between love and memories, our energies can intertwine and form a line, a connection that spreads in any direction that allows for reciprocity and reverberation. When our love echoes in the hearts and minds of those that bear witness, we will have our own bits of immortality, we will momentarily defy the laws of reality. Imagine the grandeur of it all, but prepare for the arduous road that lies ahead. A lack of communication is like a snake in the grass: with truth at the tail, a body filled with uncertainty, and lies at the head. Sure, every heart loves when it falls, but there are pitfalls and the risk of breaks, so lets be certain about ourselves with every risk we take. Time is the most valuable resource on this Earth...so if I'm trying to spend it with you, you should know you're worth a lot to me. You've got to be, if that's what I'm spending. Money, at its root, is just paper with an ascribed value. If peace is mental prosperity, love is the universal currency of the heart, and happiness is spiritual symmetry with the world, then I'm beyond wealthy if I simply have you."
