Stay In Love...

 

As we are in the last days before "V" Day...I am considering my thoughts on Love.  I realize, like most people I have probably made a mess out of Love. It seems to be the human thing...to err, tear up, mess up and destroy.  But...I dare say the biggest "human thing", let's call it the theme of Life, is the discovery, yearning for and pursuing of Love.  It begins in the cradle and goes all the way to the grave; from being an innocent, helpless baby to becoming an innocent, helpless elder.  The journey in between is fundamentally about Love.  I have struggled and grown and hopefully will continue to grow in this thing called Love.  On the basic fronts of Love; family, friends, and lovers - the verdict is still out. At this stage in my life, I find that I am very alone (not lonely).  It's as though many in the realms just mentioned have been stripped away.  It's not a bad thing in my opinion.  I think it's the reality of the process of living, maturity and wisdom; a sort of refining of oneself.  I also think you realize Love doesn't die.  The people you Love  you will always love.  The human drama is not capable of erasing the Love that exists.  It remains pure and unadulterated although you may have changed.  Without life experiences and lessons you sort of wander like Alice In Wonderland hoping and believing just about anything. Hopefully as you hit your learning curve you walk with more awareness, more knowledge and more discernment.  Now...there is a house with many mansions!  This describes the broadest and best-est kind of love that I know.  Throughout all of the ups and downs, ins and outs and vicissitudes of life and LOVE, I find that discovering God's Love for me and learning it more and more has been the horizon and background that has enveloped me.  Through God's unconditional, compassionate, forgiving, and faithful love in my life, I will always remain positive and hopeful about the possibilities of Love.  I will be a Lotus Blossom,  I will not become a sour person, an angry person, a disillusioned or cynical person.  I will never give up on Love.  Love fills me and sustains me.  So regardless of whether there is a man in my life, or if my children  are acting right, or if my friends forsake me, whatever...Love will prevail in my heart and in my life.  

As I thought about what profound things I might say about Love today I thought to just write the deeply profound words of Kahil Gibran, who wrote The Prophet.  His piece on "Love"...wow...it is soul riveting.  I also thought about the profound Love verses in The Bible..1 Cor 13:4, "Love is Patient, Love is Kind, Love does not Envy... (you can read these for yourself, they are wonderful).  Listen...all I that I can say is...stay in Love...stay in Love with Life...stay in Love with yourself...definitely stay in Love with God...and I believe it will reveal itself to you and manifest in your life!
