A Reason to Pursue Love

If you need
a reason
to pursue love
become aware
that the other
strong emotion
influencing you
is fear...

"Just as you body is made by cells,
your dreams are made by emotions.
There are two main sources of these
emotions: one is fear and all the
emotions that come from fear;
the other is love, and all the
emotions that come from love.
We experience both emotions,
but the one that predominates
in everyday people is fear."
"The Mastery of Love" by Don
Miguel Ruiz.

I can pretty much live with this premise, James. I lived with fear much of my life. Not so much now, but it is still there in the background.

Whew. I'll be thinking on this one all night...

Glad I popped in today, and thank you James.
