Love

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
Rumi 

How many of us can describe what true love feels like. We have expectations of Love, obsessions about the people we love. Disappointment because we do not know what love is and try to impose all these conditions on the ones we love. We can live with someone for years and find out that they are going through the motions and do not care. We learn to care about others after we have lost them and know all the good things we could have said if we had not been to busy ignoring what the person really was in our lives.

We can love our friends and find that our friends are our true love. Many people like that feeling when you first meet someone. You think how wonderful they are because you do not realize how loud they snore. Yet that person is still the same person you fell in love with but you have imposed your restrictions upon them.

We can grow in love or grow apart. Yet growing apart does not mean you cease to love that person it just means you want to do different things and act in a different way. Others we love can make us be people we do not want to be. How does this happen? It is because we get stuck in the past and how we consider people act to others. We all had the examples of our parents on how you love others. Some of the examples are great and some need some work.

Yet the beauty and wonder of love is shown by flying towards a secret sky. Beloved can also mean what we are to the divine. The wonder of the others beauty can cause a hundred veils to drop as we try to drown ourselves and satiate ourselves in the physical beauty and love of others.

Letting go of life means we let go of the past and how we act like our examples of love. It means just loving a person with out restrictions and caring for them. Stepping forward with out feet means love is scary. You care so much for someone and hope they will love you back.

Yet all of us need love including the love for ourselves. I hope all of you find your true love and have your true love to hug after reading this post. Affection and hugs makes life worth while.
