A Life Lived In Love Will Never

When You Love Someone You Do Not Love Them All The Time, In Exactly The Same Way, From Moment To Moment. It Is An Impossibility. It Is Even A Lie To Pretend To. And Yet This Is Exactly What Most Of Us Demand. We Have So Little Faith In The Ebb And Flow Of Life, Of Love, Of Relationships. We Leap At The Flow Of The Tide And Resist In Terror Its Ebb. We Are Afraid It Will Never Return. We Insist On Permanency, On Duration, On Continuity; When The Only Continuity Possible, In Life As In Love, Is In Growth, In Fluidity - In Freedom

Love Is Always Open Arms.

Love Is Spontaneous And Craves Expression Through Joy, Through Beauty, Through Truth, Even Through Tears. Love Lives The Moment; It's Neither Lost In Yesteryear Nor Does It Crave For Tomorrow. Love Is Now!

You Have The Choice. You Can Choose Joy Over Despair, Happiness Over Tears, Action Over Apathy, Growth Over Stagnation.

But Man Has Other Needs As Well: Emotional Needs. These, Too, Are Few, But Every Bit As Important As His Physical Requirements, Yet Not So Simple. If They Aren't Met, They Can Be As Devastating As Physical Hunger, As Uncomfortable As A Lack Of Shelter, As Incapacitating As Thirst. The Frustration, Isolation And Anxiety Brought About By Unmet Emotional Needs Can, Like Physical Privation, Produce Death Or A Degree Of Living Death - Neurosis And Psychosis.
