Castles

I came across a great quote this morning: If you build castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundation under them." - Henry David Thoreau

Sometimes we must do things backwards...or at least contrary to everything that we have been taught. Which is not the same thing. To set your sights on an impossible goal is to make it no longer impossible. Think it up and then build it.

Had a great dinner with an amazing man last night. He's a former love. A current love. Love is such a strange animal, you know. It constantly reshapes itself...and it never goes away. And there's got to be some measure of comfort in that. I had forgotten how connected we are, how easy it is for us. We sat there and giggled like kids, catching up on gossip and then moving into the more serious stuff of life....seamlessly. That sort of relationship is a rarity. It is to be cherished. I feel grateful to have him in my life. He's such a strong and courageous soul...constantly pushing the boundaries of himself, constantly transforming...and that inspires me. And it renews my love for his beautiful heart.
