"distance has a way of making love understandable." or it seems, at least, that distance allows a new understanding to enter love. without the gap of space and time, without the anxiety over whether or not the beloved will return to reject one's love or to reaffirm it, one never really understands the depths of the emotion.
simple experience plays out. that horrible sensation of missing another is an example of this sensation. the inability to sleep because of the thought of another shows a depth to an emotion that endless proximity cannot allow.
however, while for some distance can reinforce love, for others it drives the last nail into the coffin (even if this sentiment is not mutual, healthy relationships require mutual acceptance).
the scholarly voice has an inherent arrogance to it, especially when it turns to matters of emotional significance. one can hardly be academic about what they are feeling. it betrays the aloof "objectivity" that the ivory tower "instills" on its residents.
yet that is not the topic of this blathe, though, in common experience the emotional ramblings often shed as much, if not more, light onto difficult subjects as the pages of a peer-edited journal.
wilco, in their amazingness, find themselves immune to this.
