I’ve missed you friend. Great to catch up and read your writing. It’s truly a pleasure. You are gifted.

True love never leaves. It’s there. For you always…

My thanks to Mags for leading me here because I too have spent many nights wondering why it is possible to feel so much for someone and only to have it fade. I do believe in love, in that beautiful romantic feeling that fills your very being, but I don’t if it can last. And that’s the thought I hate. I want it forever.

Love can only happen when it is approached with an open heart, free from all that has happened, and all that has held it back.
There are no rules or steps. You must let go of everything you have ever known. Otherwise it becomes clouded with assumption and the neediness to patch up the past.
True love is the most beautiful thing that life has to offer, and it’s within all of us if we let it pour out unconditionally. Only then will it be given back, when everything we believe is turned over.

You are all wrong. And right.
Love is something that exists BETWEEN.
Love does not make the forests grow, or keep us alive. It is the INTERACTION that does those things.
Love changes not only every second that it exists, but begins in new incarnation between every soul.. Love, romantic or otherwise, does not exist between a man and a woman (or whatever combination you would like to choose) but between that man, that woman, and their parents, plants, coworkers, pets, best friends, first loves, worst enemies, the cycle of the moon and the alignment of the planets and the scent carried on the wind at sunrise .. love is not something that can be defined or grasped or understood .. it is something that is EXPERIENCED moment by moment and then
set free
Definitins serve to enrich our expression and open our minds to new possibilities .. but they limit us when we try to categorize ..

I propose a counter-argument (because that’s what I do):
agape, eros, and phileo might come together to form amor. But I would argue that amor itself is not what sustains us. It is not what makes the forests grow. Phileo makes the forests grow. Agape, eros, amor- those are all bonus. Phileo is essential. Without phileo, we die.

I love you, brother.

your musings slice into me so easily. I too have been kept up many nights with the nagging question ‘what is love’ … and the romantic love is so damn complicated. I feel like in some ways that’s all I’ve been doing the last 5+ years, is learning what it is, how it works, what I want, how to get it, how to keep it. who knows if I’ve figured it out, I just know it’s worth the study. what else is there, really?

thank you, I love (there’s that word again) reading what you write.

Love is not only what we want to receive but what we wish to give.

It is the trial to balance the intake with the output.
