Being Hard Core Requires Firm Decisions

Permanent Change
Language is funny.

The Privilege
I wanted to share this from my other blog. ENJOY!
Her Garden is secret because:
Her beauty radiates on levels far greater than the eye can capture,
Her fragrant aromas venture beyond that which can be perceived through the nose,
Her delightful sweetness surpasses that of mere oral pleasure,
The true treasures of her garden can only be reached through steadfast love,
The true treasures of her garden can only be held with unselfish hands,
The true treasures of her garden can only be seen through the eye of the spirit,
The true treasures of her garden can only be experienced when she gives them,
The true treasures of her garden can only be known by a heart she embraces,
The true treasures of her heart are kept in secret.
