Dearest Fantasia,
It has been an age. Like you I have moved on in many ways too yet we cannot leave behind what has become a part of us. Even if I wanted to, I doubt I could forget MJHT or MN. Fortunately I don't want to forget.
As you said there were so many beautiful moments that ignited within myself new aspirations. Here as you say a marriage based on mutual regard; a binding relationship that frees us from the chains of this world.
Many couples enter marriage seeking nothing in the other except improvement in their own status. They become accessories like jewellery, their car or place of abode. They seek the esteem of others over personal development. Ever ready to show off their new
purchase; they rarely seek quality time with each other, seeking only gratification of this world's society.
MN shows us the reason that marriages of yesteryear stood the test of time and tide. They are based upon seeking the happiness of the other. To surrender, to submit, to subdue oneself for another. It is about gratitude for the love that comforts us from the coldness of our own lonely hearts and from the nonchalance of a
too cool to care world built upon voyeurism and self doubt.
It is no small feat in any era. For it takes far more courage than the mountains who point up high into the sky's horizon; it takes more patience than the seed yearning to be the great ancestor oak AND in these times it takes solid determination in the face of opposition at every corner, curve and crossroad.
With much love, as always Sabah
