Shining Thru

Love is a very complicated emotion that is shown in numerous ways in many different types of relationships between all types of people.  Love can be shown in an action, with a word, a thought, a look, it all depends on what kind of love you want to show and to whom.  Love interests me because it seems to be one of the things that is sewn into the fabric of our being.

It’s always so wonderful when an unexpected show of love shows up and is appreciated.  It’s so nice when you can see the emotion radiating from the eyes of the one you love as they look at you in the passion of the moment.  It fills your whole body with the warmth of love.

There is always the other views of love, the view of the cynic, a father, a brother, a sister, a mother, a grandparent, a friend….I think that everyone has their own version of love, and everyone experiences it differently, which is what makes it such a wonderful thing when you can find it and feel the real thing

The thrill of a new experience, the excitement of the build up and anticipation

Leave you wondering what will happen next, all the possibilities race through your mind before you have time to latch onto one of those threads

A sense of trust and wonder overwhelm all other senses as you make your way through the moment

Fumbling through, absorbing everything into the whole body

Feelings and emotions flowing through the passion of love and pure elation

The warmth of the other half of your soul found in the body next to yours

Evidence of the mutual passionate bliss in their eyes, mind, body, and heart

Glowing radiation of the new experience shared and enjoyed

A memory that cannot be erased or forgotten

Something to replay in the recesses of the mind

Something to give power and strength as you are reminded of the love and passion

Reality blurred into the wondrous fabrication of peaceful passion

Looking through the glass at the other side of the window

Looking to see who is out there

Looking to see who is close by

Always watching, Always protecting, Always there

Seeing the people that matter

Seeing the things truly involved in life

Happiness coming to a head

Life leading down the paths we don’t choose

But ending with a smile and love

Sight of true life and a happiness that we thought escaped.

Feeling for them and seeing what they see

Seeing what you know to be true

Hiding behind the masks of the past no more

Embracing the person inside

Accepting the Love being offered.

I saw a commercial today that advertised a show that claimed to display the secrets to a  happy marriage.  I’m not sure that there could be a formula to such a thing…in fact it seems rather ridiculous that anybody would waste their time doing a study on such things.  I’m sure that there probably are some things in common, but everyone is different and as long as human personality and emotions are a factor in the equation there can never be a blueprint for the perfect marriage.

I think the secret is:  Don’t be Dumb, don’t worry about the little things, and Don’t try to change the person that you choose to spend the rest of your life with, love them for who they are.

I think that a lot of people take the easy way out and get a divorce instead of working through things.  They were showing clips of interviews with elderly couples, but a lot of those couples grew up in a generation when divorce was taboo and not looked upon as normal like it is now.  I think that if more people removed that option from their minds, they would probably first of all not rush into who they marry, and second try to work things out instead of just deciding that they want to give up.

I think that when you really love someone, you love them for who they are and can be happy together, as long as you accept the person you love the good with they annoying   I hear too many people (mostly women) say that they thought they would change or mature or whatever, but as a good friend told me, always trust people to be exactly who they are.

Valentines Day reminds us of the love we have in our lives.  There are so many different types of love in this world and a lot of people look for different things when they look for love.  There are some people who are in love with all sorts of things, which I realized while watching the show Taboo the other day.  There were two guys who were in love with their life sized dolls, which weird for me, makes perfect sense to them.

Personally I have different kinds of love with the different live people in my life.  I love my siblings and parents and friends and boyfriend, and all of those kinds of love are different kinds….sow hat is love?

Can people love inanimate objects like cars and beds and dolls?  Is attachment the same thing as love?  You see little kids who wont let go of their blankets or teddy bears for anything, but is that because they love them or they just represent security to them?

What is love?  Even the dictionary isn’t really sure, or at least acknowledges the fact that there are all different kinds of love and that at least in the English language we use the word for everything that we like a lot.  Looking on dictionary.com I was amazed at all of the different definitions that are acknowledge in the dictionary for the word “love”.  I thought it was just the way we use it in our culture, but actually, it seems to have worked it’s way into our dictionaries as well. Does a word lose its meaning when it has so many uses?  I know it still means something to me when my boyfriend says that he loves me, but I think that’s because we don’t say it in every conversation.  For a lot of people the words “I love you” have replaced “goodbye” when talking on the phone.  I think that the word means something more when it’s not used all the time….but then what about all of the uses it has in the English language?

From Dictionary.com :

love

/lʌv/ Show Spelled Pronunciation

—Verb phrase

True Passion crouches in the shadows of desire

Knowing revelation can’t be possible

Darkness is the safety vest

Hidden away from the light of hypocrisy

Life ticks on by as you crawl against the wall

Hidden from existence, except in secret whispers

The most heart filling whispers that make your body quiver

The heated moments that live on in the dreams of the wearer

The closet tucked inside the hidden subject

The passion wells up inside the skin

It wont let go until it explodes….

Drifting off just before the light barrier.

What creates a family?  I really don’t think that it is the blood that people share.  You can share the same blood as someone and not want anything to do with them, or maybe not even know that you are related, maybe never have even met.  I think that family is created between people who love and care about each other.  If it’s some friends or maybe people who took care of you and that you lived with for whatever reason.  Maybe it’s just a group of people who were thrown together in some unusual circumstances.  The blood running through the veins of a person does not create the person that they are, any more than it creates the person’s family or the group that they belong with.  Sometimes you simply fit with another person and they become your family.  You love and care about each other, support each other through the good and the hard times.

I feel bad for the people that constantly push away the people who simply want to love them.  Want to be there for them and give them a place to belong.  I think that some people are so afraid of being rejected or hurt if they let people be close enough to consider them family that they would rather just keep everyone at arms length and not give them the chance to get close enough to hurt them.  Sadly, sometimes people do get hurt by the people who they love the most, but without risking it, you may never know the love of a family.

Are secrets good things or bad?  Do they have to be one or the other?  Should people keep things just for themselves?  Is it possible to have secrets that you don’t even realize that you have?

What about things that you haven’t had time to puzzle out for yourself and therefore simply can’t share them with anyone?  If people hate surprises, should you try and force them onto them just because you like to see people surprised?

Secrets are kept every day.  It’s really nice when you know that you have someone you can tell all of your secrets to and still be loved for who you are, no matter how deviant or taboo the secrets may be.  It’s nice to know that at least one person will always love you no matter what.  It’s also nice to know that when you really love a person you can accept all of that person….all of the secrets, all of the things that make them unique.  It’s nice to be loved.  But what happens when that love is the secret that you have to keep from others…what happens when that love isn’t out in the open for everyone to see.  If you don’t know what will happen with the amazing love that fills you with a passion that wont fade.

Everyone has secrets from someone….even if it’s just from the people that you work with because you never know how they would react or how long you would have a job if you showed them who you truly are.  All that you can hope for is for the people that you love and who love you to always accept you and all of your secrets, openly and proudly.  No conditions…just love.
