Everyone is a “package deal”.
With a “package deal” you’ve got
a great mystery.
Because no matter what you think
you know about the outside of the package, there are usually lots
more to discover about the inside.
This is especially true of
marriage.
At first, you can’t wait to see
the other person.
And when you do, what you see is
what you get.
Later in the relationship, things
begin to change.
At times, you actually can wait
to see the other person.
And when you do, what you get is
what you see.
The humbling fact about a
“package deal” is that everyone is always more than they appear to
be at any given moment… and also less.
Packages generally contain
something secret inside of them.
On the outside, they may look
pretty good.
But looks are only looks. And
looks can be deceiving.
Inside a package is another
story.
Mind you, not the public version
but the private one.
This is usually, reserved for
those privileged few who are ready, willing and able to earn their
way in.
The “private parts” are the single,
most important key to unlocking the real package for it is, herein,
which resides the core, meaningful truths about the whole package.
If you use the key with consistent
respect, the package unlocks, voluntarily, of its own free will, and
reveals itself, in the nakedness of all of its truth.
But if you abuse the key, even
intermittently, the package conceals itself, self protectively.
The key to the key of the package is
found by earning respect, winning cooperation and evolving trust over a
fairly of time, space and perspective.
This laborious process provides a
necessary context within which testing the limits of trust can be
reliably accomplished.
Without trust, there can no basis
upon which to build a healthy relationship, let alone share any genuine
truth.
With trust, “all things are
possible”.
The great mystery of the package
begins to dissolve and what remains is what is.
A “package deal”!
