The Rind of Love

fruit2For every fruit, bitter and sweet, is the rind. So it goes for every human. And we twist and peel at their external visage and feast upon their essence until dried and withered. Then in our wanting despondency, we cast aside the aged and acrid pulp.

With those whom you share sweetness in this life, there is a seed just for you in their heart. Plant that seed within your own and their nourishment will flow endlessly within you. You cannot consume love from the outside, it consumes you from the inside.
