One nice thing about batteries that love doesn't have is a meter. I can read my phone and laptop to see how much charge I have before it runs down. (I rarely let my devices get below 70% of a full battery.) Love doesn't come with a charge level. It would be nice if it did.
This blog is about the little and big thoughts that pop into my head. I once read that when Flannery O'Connor walked into a bookstore, she would want to edit her published works with a red pen. In the digital world, we have the luxury of tweaking things up after we've hit the publish button. I can be a perfectionist/procrastinator, where waiting for the ideal means little gets done. Here I will share what is not--and likely will never be--perfect.

Love is like a Rechargeable Battery...
I was thinking that love is like a rechargeable battery. There are lots of metaphors for love. Some people think of it as a vessel, others a bank account. I like the idea of a rechargeable battery. If you don't continually plug it in or nurture it, it will die. I suppose one could die of thirst if a water container was empty, or one could be out in the cold if the bank account zeroed out and you couldn't pay rent. But a battery just stops.
