I was once told that editing one's life as one would a manuscript is a positive thing. Editing frees us from extraneous emotions, thoughts, actions and people. Much like Bruce Lee's philosophy of retaining the useful and discarding the useless.

I've come to realize "editing" is easier said than done. No matter how ruthlessly logical the mind decides to be, the heart will always beg to differ. Some emotions simply cannot be discarded. Some situations in life simply cannot be edited.

Unrequited loves. How does one discard such a sentiment as love?

Snow,
Like a sacrilege to step upon it.
Snow,
Treading in the steps I came in.
Snow,
With such intricacy God made each tiny jewel.
Snow,
In little puffs God's peace expressed
Snow,
I wonder if Adam ever saw it.
Snow,
If so, he chose the most gentle of names to name it.
Snow,
Stop and listen and you'll hear the sound that silence makes,... and through the quiet you'll hear God whisper,"See this? It is my gift to you."
"Snow."

Socretes once asked "Are the gods good because they are gods? Or, are the gods good because they are good?"

If you then take that question and apply to any Omniscient, Omnipotent... "God", you get quite an interesting topic for discussion.

Is what god says good because he is god? or is what god says good because he is good? If you take the first question, if what god says is good because he is god, then he can therefore change his mind, he could turn around and say "thou shalt murder thy mother and thy father" but is that good? Well it must be if god says it is.

We will walk in bitter rain.
But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

In The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King at the very end of the movie, Frodo leaves the shire. Frodo leaves the shire, his friends and his home...forever. He says goodbye to his dearest friends. Friends who had changed his life in so many different ways.

He...well...he needs to move on, as do his friends. He will always treasure them and their friendship, but there comes a time when one must move on.
