What Matters Most - A Resurrection

                                                       

We fight. We bicker. We vow to never speak again. Weeks stretch into months and four years later you have won. Won? Just what did you win?

Winning is suppose to make you feel good. Winning is the result of accomplishment. What was accomplished?

We lived our lives. We pretended it wasn't important to need one another. We had our families, our spouses, our jobs, our fun. We could have all of this without one another. Maybe it is for the best - a selective happiness. It certainly is do-able. And so it was.

But life was like an unfinished feast. Some days no dessert. Some days meatless. Fresh baked bread - warm and lovely but missing the sweet butter to bring out its depth of flavor.   

Or it was like being on a diet with no end in sight. 

Or it was like coming to the end of a good book and finding the last page has been ripped out. 

Finding common ground shouldn't be such a chore.

It isn't about forgiving. Forgiving is arrogant. It puts the forgiver in an exalted role.

It can be about understanding but..............

To be completely honest, it comes down to something so simple.

Just give up the ghost.

That is the only victory.

What matters most is that you are in each others lives again.

What matters less is blame.

And if you care enough, what matters least is why.



                                                

HAPPY EASTER
