Who is able? Who is willing? If the groom comes and says, "Choose me! Choose me!" but she says, "Oh... Not today..." will he come back? How many times will he return and ask her, beg her, to choose him? And how many times will she, a silly girl with nothing, turn away the one who is everything? Will his love for her waiver? what stops her from dropping whatever reservations she has to choose him, not just once, but everyday, forever? Does she not understand enough about who he is to honor his request for her? She figures. This thing I'm holding is too valuable to be dropped. She frets. She fears. These things I'm holding are too dangerous to be dropped and if they were, they will make a mess. The groom says, "I've done everything for you. Choose me." She listens. She believes; yet, she clings. She walks to the door and presses a weary forehead against the solid frame and listens again to the voice outside...
"Choose me!"
"Not today... Today's not good..."
How many times will she refuse? How many times will he return?
