I only wish you could see what I see when I look at you.

It’s often said that love is blind, but that’s not really true. William Shakespeare had it right when he wrote, “Love adds a precious seeing to the eye.” Love is the only thing that lets us see all the possibilities of life and each other with crystal clarity. With it, we can look beyond our loved one’s apparent limitations and see the gifts and possibilities that no one else had searched quite long enough to find. Rather than seeking imperfections and shortcomings, love keeps watch for signs of light and strength. It sees how far your loved one has come, not how far he or she still has to go. Love helps us discover qualities in ourselves that we didn’t even know we had. With love we can feed each other’s dreams and aspirations and, in that way, we can even see the future.

The way I see you…
