"Because I trust her," said Staines.
"I am asking if you think it possible," Said Broham, "not if you think it probable."
"I understand the question. My answer is unchanged."
"What induced you to place your trust in Miss Wetherell?"
"Trust cannot be induced," he burst out. "It can only be given - and given freely! How am I possibly to answer that?"
"I will simplify my question," the lawyer said. "Why do you trust Miss Wetherell?"
"I trust her because I love her," Said Staines.
"And how did you come to love her?"
"By trusting her, of course!"
"You make a circular defense."
"Yes," the boy cried, "because I must! True feeling is always circular - either circular, or paradoxical - simply because its cause and its expression are two halves of the very same thing! Love cannot be reduced to a catalogue of reasons why, and a catalogue of reasons cannot be put together into love. Any man who disagrees with me has never been in love - not truly."
― Eleanor Catton, The Luminaries
I trust her because I love her and I love her because I trust her. Love is not a catalog of reasons, nor is trust. Bea may go through this life confused and she may struggle with decisions but damn it she loves me and I love her. And I fucking trust her. I DO. I know that's scary close. I know I want to run. But fuck that shit. Life is in the love. To live is to love and I want to live this blink of a life. And I want this woman in my life, I want to share my only life with her because she's amazing. Just as the bible says, "So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun."
Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. That's exactly how I indent on spending this ridiculously short life. :)
It is the greatest way to live life!
I miss Bea.
I trust Bea.
I love Bea.
Very much so God.
Give me the courage to risk, oh God.
Give me the courage to love, oh God.
I want to live Christ like
and to live a life like Christ is to love without fear. Without holding anything back.
That's where the life and life to the fullest is, it's in that perfect love that casts out fear.
Show me God, teach me God.
