Relationships
 

Relationships - of all kinds - are like sand held in your hand.
Held loosely with an open hand,
the sand remains where it is.
 
The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on,
the sand trickles through your fingers.
You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled.
 
A relationship is like that.
Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person,
it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively,
and the relationship slips away and is lost.
 
Let us remember that we can't force anyone to love us.  We can't beg someone to stay when they want to leave and be with someone else.  This is what love is all about. However, the end of love is not the end of life.  It should be the beginning of understanding that love leaves for a reason, but never leaves without a lesson.
Everyone wants a perfect ending.  But over the years I've learned that some of the best poems don't rhyme, and many great stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end.  Life is about not knowing, embracing change, and taking a moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next.
