passion

passion.
the all consuming emotion that sweeps us -
off our feet, off our 'level-headedness', off our minds...

we forget the important
the necessity, the kinship, sometimes even the original 'passion'
that burned, deeply within...

all of a sudden... what someone else has, seems so bright, so desirable.

i see it everyday... ask me how many people come into the store
and want those big pear shaped diamond earrings oprah wore on her show...

"... I want what she has. i want what he has.
and to get that i ... dont care (or choose to forget) what I already got..."

Jan seemed to like our wedding photos,
(and flowers and beautiful bridal party, and our hair... and and and...)
that it's starting to seem that a strong motivation behind her vow renewal
may be me? *gasp!* alas! when did i become a target of 'wants'?
(i thought im the one with the 'wants' myself... ? really? hahah)

had a client who was presented a gift from her in-laws to be
2.00ct stone of reasonable quality, loose so she could choose the design
and have a ring created in her choice...

she hates it.

wants bigger. wants better. everyday everyday. everyone wants bigger. wants better.
when is enough? bigger than whose? bigger than what? 5 years later will you really care?
where is the love 5 yrs later, when love seems to play only such a small role now...

i'd be lucky to catch a glimpse of love everyday.
sometimes i get lucky. sometimes i dont...
