Why Love Always Brings You Back
Just to answer a few questions about my drawn out hiatus from this blog. First, my wife and I are still together and very much in love. Our son is growing beautifully and should be walking soon. Just got his first tooth, and we’re trying to move him on to third foods.
Now, my apologies. It isn’t that I no longer like to write about love and marriage from the black male perspective, or that its not worthwhile. It’s just that things have been growing in other directions, and the thought was if I tended to them, I’d wind up right back here.
Where I always wanted to be.
Isn’t it funny how you mind can take you in a million directions, only to eventually place you right back in the place you always should’ve remained? When you go out and lose all of your money, you wind up right back home with the wealth of family and stability. When you become rich and influential, you yearn for the familiarity and friends and anonymity.
And just when you think your love has run its course, that affection and trust can only keep your interest but so long, the complexity of human relations and the pursuit of carnal and emotional contentment brings you right back to that same loving feeling.
Mistrust or disinterest are often the at the root of a departure, but sometimes, you just grow up. But experience and wisdom are two separate things, and wisdom always yields it influence to the power of love.
So I’m back. Hopefully, in whatever situation you may have departed from, you’ll join me.
