Response to JJL "What is love?" (1 reply)
Greetings Britt. .. You always remind me of the things that are most important in life ~ and that's a terrific thing. .. Sometimes it's all too common to let oneself be affected by negativity. .. As you've said, Life is a battle against it, and the Energies/ Entities that propagate it. .. So to your stellar list, I would ad ~ Love is a Positive Magic and Energy that surrounds us always, a gift from the Universe that reminds us in a thousand different ways, how wonderful and wondrous Life can be. ..
Thanks again for another Lovely post. .. 🙂
Hey Ya'll,
First up. I enjoyed JJL's 'What is love' piece. Truthfully, the first thing I thought of upon reading it was the movie 'A Night at The Roxbury' and the song 'What is love' by Hiddaway, but I digress.
Here is a list of descriptions of this thing we call 'love' that I have realized in my life. I wish for it to never be complete because I find new expressions of love every day.
1. Love is wanting to be a better person for ourselves and everyone else.
2. Love is taking care of ourselves so that we have the strength to take care of others.
3. Love is the appreciation of things or people or places for exactly what they are at that very moment in time.
4. Love is patience.
5. Love is forgiveness.
6. Love is knowing that all things/people have their place in the realm of infinity.
7. Love is a gentleness with oneself and others.
8. Love is life.
9. Love is warmth.
10. Love is letting your beloved(s) eat your French fries, even if you are really hungry (This one isn't mine originally, I can't remember the proper author....Deepak Chopra maybe??)
11. Love is the infinite.
12. Love is the feeling I get when I hear Blue Oyster Cult on the radio, specifically the song 'Burning for you' or 'Don't fear the Reaper.'
13. Love is what I feel when someone says ,'Let's order pizza.'
14. Love is home.
15. Love is the familiar place inside your soul. You can always have it, no matter where you are or what is happening. My place inside my soul is a 1970's style house, warm with cozy carpets and furniture. You can smell spaghetti sauce being made from scratch and the television is playing something like Golden Girls. Maybe a old rickety radio is going with some Seals and Croft or Donovan going. Everything is right where it is supposed to be right then and there. Get creative, make your own place of love inside yourself. This is your internal flame to help guide you in times of hardship.
All of my love (Led Zepplin song right there) to you all!!
Sincerely
Britt She, the Pizza Shark
