Blessing and a Curse

Adrian Monk was first one I heard to coin the phrase, "It's a blessing and a curse." He was referring to this gift of solving mysteries. Adrian Monk is a character on one of my favorite shows.

Aren't mysteries wonderful?

Isn't life - at times - a mystery?

Love

Is a mystery.

It's a blessing and a curse.

Blessing when you feel it.

Blessing when you receive it.

Blessing when you give it away.

You can touch it when you hold a newborn baby.

You can touch it as you catch snowflakes on your tongue with your best friend.

Curse when it is not returned.

Curse when it doesn't last and it leaves you feeling empty.

When you have a broken heart.

When you taste the tears it brings.
