The Meaning

I want this to be useful. It has become too easy to get lost in memories and emotion and pain, and though I have felt the need to just share it with you, and you with me, I have come away from the most basic thing I know I must tell you. Experiencing Love, living and dreaming with someone, then in the midst, learning they have suddenly passed has given me one simple ability. To know the way of the truly broken heart. I am not the first, nor the wisest, but I want to tell you in as basic a way as I can, there is a very simple moral code for nurturing the love you share with someone. Written as follows it is perhaps not purely unique nor perhaps even profound, but I believe it remains true and is a foundation for how we ought to BE with another person in consideration for their heart.

There are three main parts to this code:

1) Honor

2) Celebration

3) Nourishment

I would like to talk about each one individually in subsequent chapters, but for now, to give you a better feel for the idea, I would like to expand on the meaning.

1) Honor

Honor your partner as you would honor a best friend. Honor their trust for you, Honor them with your words and actions, Honor their life. That is also to say, do not dishonor them.

2) Celebration

Celebrate your partner for the best self they are striving to be. Focus on their most natural and positive qualities and help bring them closer to truly fulfilling them.

3) Nourishment

Be a source of health for your partner. Nourish their bodies with good food and passionate physical love.

To practice these principles in the best ways possible is not easy, of course, and does not guarantee you will not have your heart broken, or that the person you love will not pass, or that you were meant to be together for your entire lives. Such difficulties are inevitable. To practice these principles is to make a moral decision to grow the love you have found to the most beautiful expression of itself, and indeed, enjoy the fruits that such a love may produce in the warm seasons of your affection for one-another. Drawing from the things I may now only wish to express to my beloved, I hope to build a clear framework from which the creativity and uniqueness of each reader may be expressed to their partners from a position of truly rich intention - to elevate their partner, to cherish them, and to be someone they may trust.

In Honor of Edytka Marzena Wal, I humbly undertake to write this work to the best of my ability.
Every day is a struggle without you, Edytka.

Love,

Charles
