(An old write but perhaps I had to come across it just to remind myself) HH Love is unable and cannot, will not, bind man to land for eternity but rather allows a soul to evolve beyond the confines of human existence. Immortality is the promise of love, pretenders will not be granted entry, but how do we qualify, what must we do, to receive and enjoy such a wonderful gift? Some have limits to how much they give, some are scared of a deep commitment, and some so sufficient unto themselves refuse to believe in the power of love. So too does wisdom have a limited scan with foresight hindered by earthly demands but avowal of love to a woman, a man, sets mankind up on the ladder to more. The ladder is long and turns around corners, even snaps in the middle to see how we fall, but the worst test of all is together no more with the catalyst who allowed love to be. A catalyst, intermediary, a go-between, agent, and how sadly we grieve the parting of hands but love is the victor still faithful and true to the promise of our immortality. But to love and remain as an island alone trapped in a net of passing priorities forms a deep channel back onto land to start the journey all over again. So sayeth the humbled by love's awesome power! Helen |

Beautiful reflections on love, dear Helen. It is our priority to experience the power of love, no doubt, and to expand it by loving more and "better", even though the heart hurts at times.  Love, Margherita |

A beautiful write, Honeybunch. I just have one question for you! Is there really such a thing as 'True Love'? |

Thank you Margherita, Bill and Sue. True Love? I guess one needs to look beyond form to find the truth which is, of course, the essence of a person, the Being, as it were. If one can resonate with that then, yes, there can be "true love" but this is an event that seldom happens and we can find ourselves in a love relationship that is dependent on the other's behaviour and on so many other things prevalent in human interactions. I like to think that in that space beyond form everyone loves everyone but there's also that thing of like attracting like which would leave us with a more or less "impersonal" love for those who don't fall into that category. Either way, there is certainly "love beyond form" which sometimes cannot be seen or touched and then perhaps can be perceived as a dream. We awake from dreams to the nothing and no one but which, in essence, is the dream? Hugs Helen |

Most thought-provoking, Helen. I am thinking of love in its many forms - all are love, yet some are more tangible and lasting than other forms. I don't know. You have my thoughts rambling. A |
