  WHERE IS JOHNNY APPLESEED? Relationships most easily form when two distinct egos collapse into one. Inevitably friction in the relationship will occur when the boundaries between two people re-establish themselves. This is the proverbial end of the honeymoon. Whether the relationship survives the inevitable return to normalcy will depend on whether both parties are willing to accept the unavoidable boundary between hate and love.
Hollywood gives up at this point. Hollywood says that if two people cannot share one ego, they cannot possibly love eachother. How sad. When graviational attraction has eased to again allow separation, it can take real work to bridge the distance. The gift of falling in love may be as simple as a comet descending from heaven, but to enjoy the fruit of love requires the work of planting a garden.
The harvest of concerted love can be every bit as intoxicating as the Hollywood variety. Johnny Appleseed went around the country planting apple trees not out of humanistic altruism, but to provide the raw materials for the manufacture of cider. Had Johnny Appleseed or others like him not planted the garden, there would be no apples to ferment. Likewise, the karma of love dictates that we harvest what we plant, but that not everything we plant grows.
We have to do a lot of planting and be patient before we start to see orchards spring forth. But the more we plant, the more fruit there is in the world to harvest. If the entire world looks to rely on Hollywood harvesting, sweet apples for intoxicating cider will be in short supply. If everyone wants to fall in love but not to love, true love itself will be soon be rare.
