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 |

Helen --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "immortality is the promise of love," I think you are right, because true love is eternal. Thoughtful and wise, you! |

Thanks all for the read! Martie - "true love" - what is it, how is it, can it even exist in this world? Love is so very hard to understand but I think about it a lot. |

Helen it doesn't exist in the world, it exists in the heart or soul, if you will. A place much bigger then the world, and where death doesn't kill it. ![]() |
