In February 1988 I began to wonder in despair if I would ever find love again. I wrote these words:
I had the courage to love
I was touched by its exhilaration
I was encompassed by its arms
But no – it was only an illusion.
The deep needs of my heart found a home in imagination.
Why does love make such a difference?
It is so bittersweet.
So many tears have been shed;
Yet I still have the courage to love again.
It not hard to fall in love with “love”. It is an exhilarating experience and life can seem so empty without it.
I hope you experience much love in your life today.

Lovely and beautiful post. I’ll memorize this. 🙂
Thanks for your kind words 🙂
I’m no expert on love seeing as I’ve never felt it, but don’t you think that to say it was an illusion is to deny the happiness you felt at the time? I imagine love is like everything else in life; constantly changing from moment to moment. But of course I’m just intellectualising the matter.
Thanks for reading my blog Joel. You have a good point about love changing from moment to moment – nothing ever stays the same but instead evolves – sometimes for the better and sometimes not 🙂
Words for meditating…thanks!
Thank you and may yours continue to grow… 🙂
