💡 Something to Think About
A relationship requires hard work, sacrifice, a willingness to listen, and a believe that “we” can work through any difficulty. It can’t be taught. It comes from an innate belief that two are better than one and worth the effort.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ The Real Work
The Real Work
Wendell Berry
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come our real work,
we have come our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
