It is also as easy to lose it, as it is to find it. As easy to have it taken away from one, ripping out the heart and any and all organs that get in the way. It is a very powerful force, but it isn’t an isolated emotion. It comes with it’s own luggage, and it is not carry-on.<br /><br />I would never regret having found such a love. Nor should anyone. But I would also caution against looking too hard or hoping to have it for the rest of one’s life. Sure there are folks who have that fortune. The couple that stayed married and in love for 60+ years, who died within hours of each other, still holding hands. <br /><br /><br />From the distance of a love long lost, life goes on. It isn’t the same, but it isn’t unbearable. Dark at times, yes. Terribly sad, yes. But the intensity of the love, if even for a few short years, that is something one never forgets. A door for which there never is “closure”, nor should there be.<br /><br />I reckon being in the moment is the best way to attract anything or no thing. In any case, having an open heart, and a willing spirit, for whatever comes your way, if even for the slight breeze or whisper of something we call love, is more than enough to keep on the light of hope, eyes wide open.AChttp://acevola.blogspot.com/2007/01/wine-lover.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9854062.post-43500458644942478422012-06-10T11:22:39.009-07:002012-06-10T11:22:39.009-07:00I think, mom, that we should maybe give what the o...I think, mom, that we should maybe give what the other person wants and needs, not what we, ourselves want. And I think if we do want something, we should ask for it, not just expect it to happen. My 2 cents.Raelinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176268325093454677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9854062.post-58068510021829509842012-06-10T11:21:19.885-07:002012-06-10T11:21:19.885-07:00Hi cuz,

What I hope to experience sometime is that kind that doesn't keep score. That doesn't need to or want to. Maybe it's the not perfect part I can't get over. I think I do want it to be perfect somewhere deep down. I'm pretty sure that is, in fact, my grappling point. Hm. Serious food for thought. Thanks for taking time to read and post, my dear cousin. I hope to see you all again sooner than later! Much love to you and yours.<br /><br />RRaelinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176268325093454677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9854062.post-54776893062203193322012-06-09T15:47:14.591-07:002012-06-09T15:47:14.591-07:00I think you've already heard my views on this,...I think you've already heard my views on this, but here is my profound thought:<br /> Love is giving to someone everything you want and having them give it back to you without your asking. Now, that would be it! I've never found it, either.

Don't be mad at me but I think that ...Hey Rae,<br /><br />Don't be mad at me but I think that is your problem. until you give yourself up fully to LOVE, you will never find peace. LOVE is not something with which we keep score, it is something that we give unconditionally. LOVE (at least human love) is also not perfect. It is something that must be constantly worked on. I see that as a positive because if it came easy, would it really have any value? It is like riding your bike up a steep mountain pass, most of the time it is filled with pain and doubt. But if you keep going, if you keep fighting, in the end, when you look back it all makes perfect sense. When you are at the top, you are glad you made the journey, pain and all.<br /><br />at least that is my beliefs . . .<br /><br />LOVE,<br />YOUR CUZ IN FRANCE<br />JYour cuznoreply@blogger.com
