What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise
and the wind,
if they do not enter into our daily lives?
~ E. M. Forster

Faith is the bird
that feels the light
and sings
when
the dawn is still dark.

Imagine that you're flying westward, coast to coast. Let's say you depart JFK at nine in the morning, arriving at LAX some seven hours later. When you get off the plane in Los Angeles, it's four in the afternoon. Back home, it's already seven in the evening, getting dark. But here, in the Golden State, you've still got a few hours of daylight left. Feels pretty good, doesn't it?

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space.
It does not seek anything in return;
it asks not whether you are friend or foe.
It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.

We actually experience a significant addition to the length of days every year of our life. Between the winter solstice and the summer solstice, there's a difference of about six hours in available daylight. We tend not to be aware of it because the increase is so gradual: a mere minute or two each day.

Starting the day: another chance to be new again.
How many of us still wish for that? To be your own sunrise.
To awaken like a prayer - both solemn and joyful at still being alive.
~ Carew Papriz

What does this teach us? That not all significant change is sudden. That gradual change can ultimately yield the same result.
It's important to remember this in the context of building a loving relationship. Sure, we'd prefer everything to be perfect right from the start. Upon meeting a potential mate, we'd like to wave our magic wand and Hey presto! be able to relax into the warmth and security of love with that wonderful someone. Except it rarely if ever works that way. Each day requires us to expend at least another minute or two of effort and caring in order to achieve that longed-for, endless summer day of love.
