I've been learning a lot about control lately and thinking a little bit about love (though not really learning too much about it). Here's the dilemma: how do you love without wanting to control? Seems to me first comes the love, then comes the insecurity, then comes the need to control everything so that those big, insecure-monsters don't bite too hard. Adam loved Eve so he named her, thus giving him control (I don't actually have a Bible to confirm this sequence of events, but that's the gist), Sethe loved her kids so she cut her daughter's throat with a hand saw so that she could keep her safe. The only way I can figure it out is that you can't let your love get too thick or too close. You have to keep your distance. Strategy? Stratosphere. Distance. Yes.

Either that or you have to be completely secure.

So here's the question: Is it easier to build a great big fortress out of yourself, or fly yourself to the moon?
