Not as if... |

It’s not as if I dropped love on the ground to ne’er be found it simply found its way into the drama of their lives. Ignored it thinks to maybe be a parrot trained to not ere talk or perhaps a homeless vagabond with nought to bring to the party. And so it studies and ponders each and every drama making notes by the score until it simply is no more. But that’s not true because, you see it simply came right back to me!

In other words, Helen, what goes around comes around. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

"But that’s not true because, you see it simply came right back to me!" Right where it belongs! Nice pondering in this, you know: "Not as if..." Enjoyed the read. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I've been told to read the "love chapter" in the bible, substituting your name for "love" at every occurence. Quite an eye opening experience it proved to be, not only revealing the traits in me that were not love based, but the traits in others that are. Love is even more beautiful when recognized for all it truly is... And yes, it often comes back to you. Very enjoyable read. Michael |

Thanks everyone! LeeJ - I have fairly recently come to the very same conclusion. I just wish it was more flexible though and able to move more easily from one ... what? ... "desire" to the next. Training school for love that is for sure. |
