This Bundle Called Life

Holiday feasts with family,
school projects,  
friendships that come  
and go and come back again.  
The building of families and economies,  
and giving our lives to causes  
larger than ourselves.  
 
It’s all part of the same bundle that becomes our lives.  
And all of it is very good except for endings  
that sometimes come too soon.  
 
All that we see, touch, hear, and smell  
with our physical selves is intended  
for our pleasure. The miracle is that  
we meet another human being whose  
desires align with ours, but a miracle  
it was when we found each other  
alone and aligned like long lost friends.  
We fell in love.
