Let Not Your Heart be Troubled As you reach out and care for others they too will respond in kind, embracing you as you embrace them, it happens all the time. How much energy have you invested, giving is the way to receive love and acceptance. Do your part and others will respond from the heart, lest your heart be troubled. JamesLee 21April 2012 |

Ah, James, 'tis not always true if you give love you will receive it in like kind. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

One of your wise gems, dear James. Our receiving is contemporaneous to the act of giving. An act of love is a gift for both the donor and the giver. Sometimes we may not feel like being loved back, but it is with Love itself that we are enriched, when we love.   Margherita |

Actually, James, I do agree with you. In giving love you receive the joy of the giving...also I believe what goes around comes around. Put it out there and it will come back to you.... |

James- you have always been one of my favorite poets on this site, and this is a phenomenal example of why. One day, I would like to be able to write this well. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition |

giving is the way to receive love and acceptance. Perhaps not then... and perhaps not from the recipient... but still very much worth the giving. *S* I like this very much! |
