Committed
I hear the word committed and occasionally I think of institutionalized. What a funny thing this trick, logic, or truth of the mind does to committed relationships, which become crazy ones.
People commit crimes. A perpetrator may end up in custody of the law, imprisoned. Of course, people also commit–pledge–themselves to one another. What a leap of freedom! One definition of custody is “protective care,” and committed people consecrate their love for one another, freeing themselves into others’ custody. The protective care of love is immeasurably generous and gentle.
The more committed I am to myself, the freer I am.
The more committed I am to myself, the more committed I am to you.
