If you want to find love, Look within. A pleasing sentiment, inspiring love of self. Though my life has shown me, a different way. The path to true love, is not the path within, but the path without. If you want to find love, look without. Look without expectation. Look without trepidation. Look without condition. Look without want. Look without purpose. Look without desire. Look without need. Looking without any goal, save for the willingness to give. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so. B. Russell |

Okay, JP---here I am, now be gentle with me please... I liked this one enough to be brave today... There is truth in every word, and dare I say it? I like your attitude! (serenity makes a quick exit...) |
