Love…
…overcomes grief and pain, given time. You and I are proof. Years of wandering in the desert of our hearts and souls made ready a fresh space for love to live again.
Chilean poet, diplomat and politician Pablo Neruda
From sorrow
to sorrow
love crosses
its islands
and establishes
roots that
are watered
by weeping.
Love…
…is at times not having a clue where things are going or even precisely what emotions are being felt. When one can let go the desire for certainty, true love has the best chance to arrive, grow and last.
French literary Critic Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve
For true love
is inexhaustible;
the more
you give,
the more
you have.
And if you go to draw
at the true fountainhead,
the more water you draw,
the more abundant
is its flow.
Love…
…is easy, yet challenging. The ease is falling in love when discovering someone truly special and deserving of one’s affection. The challenge is trying to love with a fresh and brave heart even thought it has been broken many times before.
Quote from Bohemian-Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke
For one human being
to love another
is perhaps
the most difficult
of our tasks;
the ultimate,
the last test and proof;
the work for which
all other work
is but preparation.
I love…
…that we willingly take on the unsettled times in our relationship and do our best to share with each other what is going on; how we feel; what we need and hope for. It’s not always easy, but we grow by doing it.
American singer, actress, and TV personality, Dinah Shore
Trouble
is a part of your life,
and if you don’t share it,
you don’t give the person
who loves you
enough chance
to love you enough.
