Calm and Peaceful Adoration

Posted in Comfort of being loved, Gratitude, Look of Love, tagged , , on December 16, 2012 |

Love…
…expressed in the simple touch of a hand; eyes connecting with mutual smiles soon after; a well of enjoyable conversation that seems to have not bottom. Affection, friendship and respect stirred together in a recipe of calm and peaceful adoration.

American educator, minister, author, and TV host Fred Rogers
comforting youLove isn’t a
state of perfect caring.
It is an active noun,
like struggle.
To love someone
is to strive
to accept
that person
exactly the way
he or she is,
right here and now.

Ripple Through Time

Posted in Gift of Love, Gratitude, Inspiration of love, tagged , , on November 19, 2012 |

Love…
…echoes forward through generations. Though my time was long ago, I wrote down what was in my heart and left it behind. My words ripple through time to others who will understand my love for you.

Written by Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning May 6, 1846
I have been drawn back into life
by your means and for you…
and I think of you with
an unspeakable gratitude always!
No other could have done this for me -
it was not possible,
except by you.
Wholly
and ever
yours I am.

A Single Shadow

Posted in Gratitude, Inspiration of love, Mystery of love, tagged , , on September 18, 2012 |

Love…
…is more than one plus one equals two. When love is true and real, two together are amplified far beyond what they would otherwise be seperated.

Canadian poet, novelist and journalist Doug Fetherling
Your absence
has not taught
me to be alone,
it merely
has shown
that when
together
we cast a
single shadow
on the wall.

Kind and Understanding Way

Posted in Being with You, Gratitude, Kindness, tagged , , on August 28, 2012 |

Love…
…is in its highest form when passion simmers down and loving kindness takes the lead. Until lovers become a friends what is shared is fragile like glass and easily broken. Thank you for the kind and understanding way you treat me…

American composer, performer and filmmaker Meredith Monk
That inner voice
has both gentleness
and clarity.
So to get to authenticity,
you really keep going
down to the bone,
to the honesty,
and the inevitability
of something.

Manna for the Soul

Posted in Gift of Love, Gratitude, Power of Love, tagged , , on August 18, 2012 |

Love…
…is life’s greatest gift. It lightens our load. It enlivens our emotions. It sweetens our days. It lifts us higher. It makes living more than just survival. Love is manna for the soul.

From “Your Song” by Ella Kay
You have filled my heart
with your laughter
and my life with your love.
Its notes are
compassion,
strength,
and patience
Its melody…
your smile.

As The Angels Give

Posted in Gratitude, Hope and Possibility, Little Things, tagged , , on August 4, 2012 |

Love…
…is waking up with a simple thought about you, a remembered moment or a future anticipated one. Those morning thoughts, memory glimpses and wishes stir into kaleidoscope of hope for you in all its shades of past, present and future.

Scottish author, poet and minister George MacDonald
If instead
of a gem,
or even a flower,
we should
cast the gift
of a loving thought
into the heart
of a friend,
that would
be giving
as
the
angels
give.

It Is So Rare

Posted in Gratitude, Power of Love, Soft and Tender, tagged , , on July 21, 2012 |

Love…
…is knowing I can depend on you. When I need help you’re always willing to lend a hand. When I need someone to listen you open your ears, heart and mind to me. As good as our love is, our friendship is even better… stronger and more secure.

French Romantic composer and writer Hector Berlioz
It is so rare…
to find a complete person,
with a soul,
a heart
and an imagination;
so rare for characters as ardent
and restless as ours
to meet
and to be matched together,
that I hardly know
how to tell you
what happiness
it gives me
to know you.

A Great Comfort

Posted in Admiration, Gift of Love, Gratitude, tagged , , on July 20, 2012 |

Love…
… is a sense that comes without doubt and question; a simple, but certain knowing that you do. There is a great comfort in allowing myself to feel and know there is true love in your heart for me. 

Contemporary Italian writer C. Joybell C.
We have to allow ourselves to be loved
by the people who really love us,
the people who really matter.
Too much of the time,
we are blinded by our own pursuits
of people to love us,
people that don’t even matter,
while all… the people who do love us
have to stand on the sidewalk
and watch us beg in the streets!
It’s time to put an end to this.
It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.

Love Makes Life Sweeter

Posted in Gratitude, Hope and Possibility, Power of Love, tagged , , on July 9, 2012 |

Love…
… between two compatible people can improve happiness and enhance joy; lighten burdens and ease pain; bring solace to disappointment and consolation to failure. Like sugar in tea, love makes life sweeter (like you do mine).

Contemporary American Author of literature & fiction, Jodi Picoult
Love is not an equation,
it is not a contract,
and it is not a happy ending.
Love is the slate under the chalk,
the ground that buildings rise,
and the oxygen in the air.
It is the place you
come back to,
no matter where you’re headed.

My World Wasn’t Much

Posted in Gift of Love, Gratitude, Hope and Possibility, tagged , on July 4, 2012 |

Love…
…when chased, runs; when pushed away, departs; when ignored, vanishes. But when embraced, lives; when held close, grows; when acknowledged, shows itself. Love made you and I into “us”.

Taken from a poem found on-line – “Gratitude” by ‘xJessibel’
My world wasn’t much,
Not at least till you came along.
Your kind words lifted me up,
You taught me to always be strong.
I can’t promise it will be easy,
I can promise it will be long.
But together… we can make it.
Together we can keep strong.
