Love Is...

"I been keepin my eyes open..."

...never giving up on the soul that has it and never taking it for granted...

...not just a feeling but it is also the driving force of sacrifice...

...knowing where to stand and knowing when to step aside....

In this world of ego and possession, many have lost the capacity to truly love with abandon and that my friends makes it all the more valuable to find.  Just keep in mind that when you do, all that is "self" will no longer be in play as the only thing that will be of import is what is best for the object of that love.  This will cause confusion and sometimes pain of loss but that is not the fruit of love.  No, instead, that is the fruit of "self" that cannot fathom how one that could truly love walk away from what they truly love.  Is it really walking away though?  Or is it making room for something more? Too many play the zero sum game in matters of love when love's complexities go way beyond that. If you're just tuning in?  Welcome to my world...

I have been in situations where I have had to make the choice between keeping the mindset of hope or taking on the concept of possibilities.  With hope, you allow yourself to see the object of your love as just that.  With possibilities, the object of your love takes on another role.  Becoming a possibility of something that may happen in life if all things should line up correctly.  You never completely remove yourself from the lives you've come to truly love but if need be, you change your mindset for their benefit and your peace.  Due to the strength of your love, they may never grasp the difference.

Love is my anchor.  My reason for living and why I still remain as I am.  So love with abandon and inso doing always remember the truth of all things before you.  Stay sober-minded in your drunkenness so that if the day should ever come when your mindset must change, you will not do it in bitterness, anger or frustration.  Instead you will do it with the same love you have always had because although your mindset will see change...your truest love will not.  Much love my people...rest easy...
