Evolution: 1+1=2=1

Life=Evolution

We matriculate through grade school to middle to high school. Complete collegiate studies or progress in higher learning at trade institutions. Some have a passion to serve the country. Others hit the pavement and begin their careers.

We learn how to be responsible, to work with others, and to be independent. We work on our weaknesses and massage our strengths to be more productive citizens. We party hard. We meet and greet. Mix and mingle. Read. Discuss. Become politically involved. Form opinions on controversial subjects. Appreciate more than 2 genres of music. Form/Increase our relationship with God. Party some more. Bump our heads. Fall in Love. Lose love. Discover more flaws. Pray more. Learn how to love ourselves completely. Meet people where they are mentally. We begin to truly appreciate our parents. Discover everyone isn't as loving or works as hard as you. Learn how to trust through God's heart.

Evolution

We do all these things in our 20s and 30s and beyond. We know perfection is impossible, but we aim for it. Most of us treat our future with care as we reflect on the spiritual, yet oppressed lives of our ancestry.

Press. Push. Push. Press.

Just when we think we are on our way and have some of it together, accomplishments are made, some flaws have been improved, we are more forgiving and acceptable. We begin to learn from past mistakes and focus on how the near and distant future should be. We work effortlessly through the support of our faith and friends with like minds to make it happen. We refuse to be mediocre. Just when all this happens...when we make up our minds to do better and be better, in walks Love.

1+1 = 2

The Evolution of Love always seems to appear when it is not penciled in on the agenda. But, it's so magical and so apparent and so magnetic that we welcome the purity of it. It can be inconvenient. There are challenges. Some days are not as bright as others. But, don't we have those as individuals before others are involved anyway? As a wiser being with hints of residue from knocked down barriers, 1 evolves into 2. Not the player side of you from yester-year. No, that person faded to black. Been there and did it... time and time again. No desire to go back. Evolution introduces you to the stage of life where you genuinely wish to share the better you with another human being.

2=1

Here you are with Love. Trust is growing daily. Acts of communication are understood. Learning curve on existing as 1 is a daily walk, but worth the stretch. You completely understand time for healthy space and time for healthy affection. Respecting the right to disagree. God speaks to 2 on the paths to travel for success. 2 creates a wall of commitment that blocks lust and temptation from damaging God's purpose. 2 stands before 1+1...naked...raw...vulnerable...true. Prayer life increases to include guidance, wisdom, compassion, leadership, submission of 2. Layers of purpose continue to unveil as the 2 make strides for the future.

Your future is no longer exclusive. No, you have evolved. It's inclusive...the future of "We."
