Meaning in the Details

To feel security in another's arms.
To know one's independence.

To limit oneself for the betterment of another.
Two become one? One becomes part of another?

My sacrifices make me stronger.
Your acceptances make you smarter.
Together we will grow into a stronger smarter whole.

To focus on one thing with all that you know.
To maintain many things so the focus can occur.

The details are what make up life.
The details are what must be maintained.

The challenge is finding meaning in the details when the focus is not mine.
