Discernment in Love: A Tale from Yesteryears

Dear reader, today I’d like to share a story from my past, a tale of love and discernment. It’s a story that I hope will inspire you, motivate you, and perhaps even guide you in your own journey. So, sit back, relax, and let’s take a trip down memory lane.

The Encounter

It was the summer of ’68, a time of peace, love, and rock ‘n’ roll. I was a young man, full of dreams and aspirations. One day, while walking down the bustling streets of San Francisco, I saw her. Her name was Lily, and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Her eyes sparkled like the stars, and her smile could light up the darkest of rooms.

The Pursuit

Over the next few weeks, I pursued Lily with all the fervor of a young man in love. I wrote her poems, serenaded her under the moonlight, and even learned to dance just to impress her. But despite my efforts, Lily remained elusive. She was friendly, yes, but there was a certain distance, a certain aloofness that I couldn’t quite understand.

The Revelation

One day, I decided to confront Lily. I asked her why she was so distant, why she wouldn’t let me in. And that’s when she told me. Lily was terminally ill. She didn’t want to start a relationship, only to leave me heartbroken in the end.

The Lesson

That day, I learned a valuable lesson about discernment. Love isn’t just about passion and romance. It’s also about understanding, about seeing beyond the surface and recognizing the other person’s needs and feelings. It’s about making the right decisions, even when they’re hard.

So, dear reader, as you navigate your own journey of love, remember to exercise discernment. Look beyond the surface, understand the other person’s needs, and make decisions that are best for both of you. And remember, love isn’t just about finding the right person, but also about being the right person.

Until next time,
