the Pursuit of Love....

We think – there must be someone, or something – that cares, that will always catch us when we fall. We spend our whole lives searching for that person – only to be disappointed over and over again. Why do we do that? Why do we torture ourselves with something that doesn’t exist? Because of fear. Fear is one of the strongest primal feelings, and it’s keeping us in check. It gets us immobilized. Until, one day, we learn to stop looking. We learn we have to be able to catch ourselves, and when we do that, when we stop expecting anyone to do it for us – a miracle happens. We fall, and a thousand hands reach out, a thousand arms form a net, and catch us. We’re not alone, but we didn’t allow others to catch us before. We pressured, we asked, we cajoled. None of these work. Love only works by being given freely. And when we give freely, others give back.

Those were not my words, but i support the meaning... in fact i'm experiencing it...

Ra the Gem.
