I believe that the love I have for my son, is just a reflection of the love God has for us. Except, it's not entirely transcendental lol
Oh mama, this is one of my fav as well. And yes...love of child is the best. I noticed most people responded in regards to romantic love. Love expands way above and beyond that. Love of self being the most important in order to love the other fully. My fav love song is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GmVajkqLNU
Very true... I love just being and living, I love breathing and sitting in the sun.. I love just waking up in the morning.. Never use to feel that way, but I've grown in life and that is another great love...
mmmmmm....my bed sure did feel good this morning. Must have been that hot lovin last night. Mystical....I know. It's kinda cool growing up and maturing isn't it. Though I still feel 18 inside. My mischevious bone is way to strong to make me always feel responsible.
Exactly,it is the best! And that is also the beauty of it, feeling like a kid inside but yet growing and expanding as you age in life, as each year goes by finding yourself more and more content in life and with who you are, and feeling more comfortable in your skin and in life.. But yet in your heart you still want to play and have fun and live.. I love it...
another one that just awakes my spirit every time I hear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw41VqE0UjA
Oops, I meant to say Charity...not compassion. Charity is the highest level of love. Shroom, you are just too cute.:cheers2:
I do not presume to know what it is. And I tend to think that most people who babble about it, don't know either.
Make? No. I hate the word love. And metaphors are not definitions. What I have experienced are glimpses of intimacy. To me, it looks like it's people who communicate and empathize spontaneously. People who accept each other's shortcomings; even cherish them. And, people whom we can commit to being emotionally available without fear for our personal space. I've used and abused the word love in the past. I thought I'd be with this one person and that person "forever". Later on I realized what I thought was love was just co-dependency.
Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love." And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God." And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. ~kahlil Gibran
I'm not really sure, but if you still want to be with someone EVEN after they did probably the most stupid thing you could think of, you may be in love... or naive. Actually that's probably just naive lol
Not necessarily. I think one big aspect of love is embracing another's flaws. Problem is, I don't think love can be defined. And co-dependency and love share the same symptoms, and yet are different.
I dont know what to say. I only know about love for your family and love for God. I know nothing about romantic love, so I'll stay hush
Is that what religion means tho, to u? _______________________ Back to the other sort of love,my friend surprised me today when he said he didnt love his mrs.But he's lived with her for years.I couldnt do that..?
