Love is a rose but you better not pick it.
It only grows when it’s on the vine.
A handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it.
You lose your love when you say the word ‘mine.’\
- Neil Young
This concludes ten intentional posts on Love. I’d like to be an older person with a bigger heart.
Here are some thoughts on love.
- Love is empathy. It’s walking a mile in another person’s heart.
- Love is vulnerability. It’s keeping the walls down, letting myself feel more pleasure and pain.
- Love is an opposite of anger. Anger is getting tight, defensive and reacting with rage. Love is softening, opening up and accepting.
- Love hurts sometimes. Physically. It takes courage to care so deeply. It’s no wonder so many people get ground down and hardened by life, letting less love in over time.
- Love is surrender.
- Love gets us high. We want more. We want too much. We try to capture love and it vanishes.
- Love is fleeting and everlasting.
Love is the lush countryside outside the train window.
Storms rage.
Birds sing.
We are along for the ride.
If we want to be.
