A paradox -- please help me see...




Two seemingly contradictory phrases
meant to guide one's living:

* Love.  Simple.  Evaporate each moment.

* Protect your queen.

Do we need both?  If so, how to
reconcile the paradox?

Love.

  1. To the warriors of light, there is no such thing as impossible love.

    They don’t allow themselves to be intimidated by silence, or by rejection.

    They know that – behind the icy mask people wear – there is a heart of fire.

    That is why the warriors risk more than others.

    They tirelessly seek love – even if this means hearing, many times over, the word ‘no’, returning home defeated, feeling rejected in body and soul.

    Warriors don’t allow themselves to be discouraged. Without love, life has no meaning.

  2. Who made her a queen in the first place?

    Wasn't it the beggar who renounced

    his inner kingdom

    for a peck on the cheek?

  3. This is the first statement. Now, as I watch the NBA finals (do you?), I contemplate the second...
