Something About Love

Love is someone saying "I see you and I will walk in that direction."

Sometimes you see; sometimes they see. Sometimes you walk; sometimes they walk. Healthy love is where all of that happens consistently. That's how simple it is.

Except... no one is born good at seeing or walking. We each have to learn. Each of us, no exceptions. So, we learn, at different rates, in different ways. That's how complicated it is.

If it were easy and common, it wouldn't be as valuable, would it? We'd take it for granted. We wouldn't have so many songs and stories about love if it was just some convenient product, we could pick off a shelf.

Love is rare and homegrown. Each love is a unique work of art representing time and effort and dedication and all of the lessons learned along the way. That's why it's a priceless treasure. That's why it's a gamble and investment. That's why so many of us want it so much.

Learn to understand and be understood. Learn to approach and be approached. Don't get upset at anyone for learning -- including yourself. It's all part of the process we've each had to individually reinvent after thousands and thousands of years of humanity.

It's as simple and as complicated as that.

love is a verb, or a moment in time that stacked on top of one another never needs to end

love is an illusion of smoke & mirrors
love is a invisible inanimate object you only feel
love is simple yet complicated w many layers
love is sacrifice
love is work
love is sorrow
love is happiness
love is the elixir of life
love is timeless
love has no end

I have loved all the dogs I have rescued. When they have looked at me through the window I have never felt a greater love because that love is forever. Several women have given me that same look, but it was a temporary thing. If love is not forever, I guess I don't know what love is.

Exactly.
