					<description>I hear you...it is now easy, when we find ourselves in those "in-between spaces" where passions go dormant, where the challenge is to remain faithful... to ourselves.

It is a matter of trusting that love is like a rose bush...we keep on watering and nurturing it even when it has no blooms.

If the question has to do with commitment, or vows, I say we win more by waiting than rushing into another passion because it never lasts...no matter how strong, we are left holding the torch, flame gone when it has commsumed itself, or worse, empty handed. 

I remember that passage from the Song of Songs: “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it”</description>

					<description>Interesting take on faith, which certainly isn't my strong suit. I'm much more action oriented, but this post has given me something to think about. Interesting that I immediately think of sexuality in a long-term relationship. I strongly believe that the strength of a person's soul is much more evident when times are tough than when they are easy. Love you!</description>
