organic commandment
love is the virtue of the heart
sincerity the virtue of the mind
decision the virtue of the will
courage the virtue of the spirit
Each one is so complex, as they're applicable to such a range of experiences...tested every day. Lately, I think it's the decision virtue I've been struggling with. I've lost some of my will - got swept up in a concept of freedom that hardly applies to me. It was a short romance with the idea of an open unplanned future as being full of possibility, but what's the point of possibility if there's no concept behind it? I want a will, a direction. It doesn't have to be set in stone, but it has to be mine, with a confidence that I've lost sight of lately. I like the idea of it being organic, and not relying on someone else (been there, not good). Like a seed I can plant, and just keep alive, and in return we will give each other breath.
