A few thoughts on love...

What is love? Deborah Anapol writes that "love is a force of nature. However much we may want to, we can not command, demand, or disappear love... Love is bigger than you are. You can invite love, but you can not dictate how, when, or where love expresses itself."
The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Corinthians that "love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
What is love? I think I finally know.

When I invited and demanded love it never came. When love came into my life I wasn't ready for it and tried to "disappear" it. But in the end love was a victorious force of nature and much bigger than I. As I realized that love is "bigger" than my comprehension or control I took a leap of faith off the unfathomable mountain I felt my life to be. I closed my eyes and jumped. As I was falling love gave me wings to fly from certain and inevitable death of mind, spirit and soul
