When
we
enter
a relationship,
we
don't often think
or see
beyond
the physical
being.
We are
attracted
to the
body, face or
personality. We
may
like
what
that person
does or
how
they do it and
want
to be a part
of that. We
may even experience
a pull
from within
that we
can't actually explain.
But
how often do
we stop to
consider the true
depth
of the person
we are
attracted to?
There is
a
being
before us
who has
a past, present and
future.
There is flesh
and
bones, hurts and scars,
feelings,
thoughts
and ideals.
When we enter the
world
of another
being we
must be willing to be a
part
of
it all. When
someone
entrusts their heart
to you
they
are
giving you a
piece of their soul.
You
cannot
treat
a
soul casually.
You must protect,
nurture
and
handle
it with care.
Our interactions
with one
another
go far beyond
the face, body and
hair. One
other
thing
we must
consider when we
enter someone's
heart, there
is a heart and soul
inside of us of which
they play
a part.
