My Precious!!
Smeagol Gollum!
Over this few years, I've come to realsie that what is precious matters to me, not those mindless hours doing stuff that , well, is simply wasting away my grip on what is precious.(signs of poor vocabulary, something like the signs from your constellation.)
Wouldn't you give up everything for something that is ultimately important to you? Christ came to teach us to truely live; you may live for something that is truely preacious to you, cherish it, keep it, let it grow, take pride in it, let it come to fullness & bear fruit. Remember the 3 parables where those ficitonal characters(which you might want to become) gave up everything just for everything. Just as God the Father gave his only Son(woah sounds big!) just to save us. Remember the fig tree & the vine branches.
When it is time to let go, return it to God gracefully, just as freely as the gift was given. The grey difference between obsession & cherishing something is the way we take it: the balance & not becoming enarmoured by it so much that you must be wrenched from it.
Just as I would be giving up man things, I hope that I wouldn't forget everything important, God & family. Is LoG important to you? Give all your time, energy, emotion, pasion, motivation & resources on your choice. God wanted us to live fully, which meansw in the right manner. Reenter the spirit of Lent once more.
