Love is not something that is mastered in but one moment.
To have mastered something is to imply its completion—and love is never “done.”
To masterfully craft a loving moment is as much a completed gift as it is an understanding that a new gift will need to be crafted in the next.
Otherwise, as all gifts eventually do, its warmth and shine will slowly fade.
And not because the gift that you masterfully crafted wasn’t good enough, but because of the eventual overwhelm of the following moments when no gift is crafted at all.
Love needs to be renewed.
And fortunately, there is an inextinguishable source of love inside each of us that we can draw from. That we can use to masterfully craft another loving gift in this moment and the next.
Be it a sincere compliment, a warm embrace, a chivalrous gesture, a thoughtful note, a compassionate ear, an intimate night free from distraction, or a “just because” gift when the opportunity is there.
Love is not something we can state in one moment and be done stating forevermore.
It’s not an act that is completed that will cover you forevermore.
Love is something only mastered in moments—and it will always be the case now and forevermore.
