Is there anything that can be described as an ‘ordinary
relationship’? Maybe so, but I have begun to think that most relationships are
extra-ordinary in nature.
This is because you start off with some kind of attraction,
that phase is swiftly followed by an obsession that is often rooted in infatuation.
After this comes the realisation that the person has weaknesses and may also
have committed unpardonable deeds. Yet there is still an ultimate acknowledgement
that this person has penetrated your soul. This is what makes relationships
extraordinary to me.
People I meet and get to know become extremely important to
me. They matter beyond normal comprehension. I am not obsessed by them, yet I
remain eternally interested and concerned about them.
This is especially the case when something in me that is beyond
thought or feeling finds a match within the person I have met. The connection
is deeper than reason because it is automatic and mirrored. This is the
everyday miracle of friendship that I am happy to never understand, yet I
accept it with the utmost joy.
I love them just like I love me.

heart, you should listen." MHM
