Tweet

I THINK THIS BLOG ENTRY NEEDS TO RE-POSTED BECAUSE LATELY I’VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF NEGATIVE ENERGY FROM PERSONS ABOUT LOVE & NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY TO TALK THEM OUT OF PUSHING LOVE OFF THAT CLIFF THEY DO IT ANYWAYS. I LOVE THAT WHEN I/WE BLOG, WE PUT THINGS OUT THERE THAT ARE TIMELY & TIMELESS & THIS BLOG ENTRY FOR WAS A VERY DEAR FRIEND WHO I CAN SAFELY SAY WALKS THE PATH WITH A DIFFERENT TUNE OF LOVE IN HIS SOUL. HE HAS GROWN SO MUCH & I KNEW THAT WHEN HE SAW THIS BLOG ENTRY IT SHOCKED HIM TO HIS CORE. NOW AS I PUT THIS OUT HERE ONCE AGAIN, IT IS MY SINCEREST HOPE THAT THE WORDS PERMEATES THE SOULS OF THOSE THAT BAFFLED BY THE MYSTERIOUS THING CALLED LOVE…

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart. If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how love will deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even though our lives and ways are different. If you fall in love with another, and he falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or assign blame, let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time. Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in any way you can. This is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them. The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks love. They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do. LOVE ALWAYS HAS BEEN &; ALWAYS WILL B A MYSTERY. B GLAD THAT IT CAME 2 LIVE 4 A MOMENT IN Y'R LIFE...
