Choose Love
"I believe love is primarily a choice and only sometimes a feeling. If you want to feel love, choose to love and be patient"

Things always look different in the cold light of a new day, and generally when the dawn finally comes the details from any mental journeying fade like the stars. The moon has a dark side in the sense that one hemisphere has turned from the sun and likewise our faces may display phases as we turn towards or away from the life-giving light.
My friend David has shared with me the Feyerabend truism "You chose your life, as do we all, in a million tiny valuings" and it's by these small decisional increments that we turn towards or away from what gives us contentment. It's not so important to remember those choices which wax a gibbous phase, but rather it would be useful to view from a distance, in a different light, those waning judgments that lead to the crescent's edge - and maybe then to gain a little wisdom. Those that have been there can best attest, "Never underestimate the power of the dark side".
There is a road that's so easy to travel, broad with a gentle downslope - I've been a long way down that road and although I don't know where happiness is, it's not down there.
