Love

Just recently, a close friend of mine was recently married. While I myself have not travelled along that well-trod path (and cannot foresee that I ever will), I wish them great happiness and good fortune in the life that they have chosen to share.
I had wanted to write something, sort of as a gift, and found that my mind was blank. I could not come up with the words to any poem and so I came out with this that you see below. It is something that has seen many forms over the years but finally, it all came together for me to see completed. I put it here now for others to see. These are my own thoughts on that most elusive and yet sought after emotion… love.

I really appreciate those thoughts on “LOVE”. It’s a mystery to me…..no sooner do I think I have a grip on it….and it slips through my fingers….just as the sands that cover the pyramid.

The key is to not hold on so tight… instead marvel at what you hold in the open hand. Unfortunately, when the hand is always a fist, it is impossible to hold anything at all.
Comment by Blaze 7 November, 2008 @ 10:29 amYou’re absolutely right and it’s a piece of advice that I give others so easily….but…it seems like such a difficult thing to make real in my own life. I’m very aware and concerned about all the power games that are played in relationships….perhaps I’m being removed from the evolutionary process. And yet with all the technology and communications systems…it seems people are more alone and isolated than ever. I do have hope though that we as humans are learning the limitations of the fist.
