Defining Love

This is very poignant.

I also think that it's not easy to know that someone else holds our love in their hands - after all, it's a slippery thing sometimes and without special care it might slip right through their fingers.

We must realize
That others exist for us
Primarily in our own minds
And what they are
Is what we interpret
Them to be

And in many cases
The qualities they possess
Are qualities we give to them

So when someone does not live up
To what we expect them to be
We should not only question them
But also our expectations


ok enough profound thoughts from me... Ammo are the yankees playing tonight???;) :kiss:

It's so easy
To think about Love
To talk about Love
To wish for Love

But it's not always easy
To recognize Love
Even when we hold it
In our hands

Holy mackerel. I leave for a few hours and the place is overrun by something called the Fugawi.

Alright, I'll bite. Where the Fugawi?

She did indeed, Liza. She did indeed. Despite all outward appearances, and many efforts outright to demonstrate otherwise, DLL sometimes has some very wise things to share.

{Even if she is a Yankees fan ;) }

Red, we must be kind to our friends the Yankees fans. They do not understand sorrow the way others do. It is a new and frightening experience for them. They need our care and patience right now. Please try to be more gentle.

DLL, you are so right with this. What we expect of others may be something they fail to do...or they may do something that hurts us because it is outside our expectations. Hopefully...If love is there, these expectations can be recognized for what they are and put aside in order to keep the relationship IF those concerned feel it is worth fighting for.

Unrealistic xpectations, particularly when they are held close to the heart and not revealed, can cause irreparable harm to a relationship. I think this is often the root of the problem when a young marriage breaks up. Each partner enters the relationship with unrealistic expectations and then, when they are not met, accuses the other of being less than is needed. It's a shame.

Mind if I sit down and join you by the pond for a little rumination? I've some good coffee in the thermos and a few cold beers as well. Take your pick.

There is much to think about these days.

I suggest you let her out more often. She has fine things to say and says them well.

We need more of that in this world. There is more than enough sadness to go around, but nowhere near enough joy.
