          You can be invincible
       
       Is this a desirable state?  On the one hand, it's appeal is
       obvious.  Who wouldn't want to be impervious to pain and
       suffering, untouched by sorrow, anger, greed, envy and the like?
       And yet, is it possible to put ourselves beyond the reach of
       these and yet still be accessible to love?  Which is a strong
       indicator to me that this idea of invincibility has been
       imisunderstood.
       
       Love the person, but do not love where they are, or who they are
       with, or how long they are with you.  Love in a manner that holds
       them loosely, in an open palm upon which they can come and go.
