The Worth of Your Treasure

As I stood on the back porch enjoying the calmness of a nice summer rain my eyes ventured upwards into the richness of the sky. Intrigued by how the sun could let off such a stunning shine in the midst of a light rinse, I listened to the beauty marks each drop made as it soothed the warm pavement. For years my senses have been captivated by the wonders of Mother Nature. As the drizzle ceased I witnessed the birth of a beautiful rainbow growing seemingly nearby. My mind instantly reflected on the fictional saying, “There is a treasure at the end of every rainbow.” As I walked in the direction of the rainbow I noticed that this would not be an easy treasure to find let alone come close to. However, just being able to see its worth from a distance was something valuable within itself.

Often times when we have been hurt and emotionally damaged by a prior relationship we move quickly to add another individual to our daily lives. We use this method in an effort to keep us stable and distant from wrestling with the truths of our past. In relationships quality time is vital for each individual in order to function at a healthy level. If one individual is struggling with doors that have not been closed before engaging in another relationship the quality time with the new mate could easily become rebound time from the old mate.  This is the time were one person’s feelings are not being received and embraced by the other person. Their actions and loving ways are deflected from piercing the other individuals mind, body, and soul. 

Many times when two individuals are constantly in one another’s presence many internal issues that should have been addressed prior to the next relationship remain unresolved. These issues are simply covered up by a temporary fix provided by another mate.  This temporary resolution will soon be exposed and distance is usually the reason it is. 

Distance is one component of life that challenges a person in all facets of a relationship.  Most importantly distance can reveal the worth of your treasure. How you interact with an individual when they are away tells just as much about the worth of the relationship as how you interact when you are together. Being apart is not always a good thing for some, but it can prove to reveal value and be healthy for others.

When getting to know someone avoid the temptation of swiftly getting close to their rainbow because it may lead you to a treasure that is filled with fools gold. Learn to stand on the porch and enjoy them from a distance and observe the beauty of their actions as they are displayed on a day to day basis. Once that overwhelming feeling eludes you and a sense calmness enters, pursue that rainbow with an open heart and a strong mind and allow your blessing to be your ultimate treasure.
