You can analyze this mystery and
Love is more than the sum of the interests,
Too often, when love comes to people,
When they fall out of love,
They want answers where there are
But there is no meaning beyond the love itself,
You need to treat what love brings
If you find someone else in love with you
Don't take advantage and don't cause pain.
If you fall in love with another who falls
There is a reason and there is a meaning.
Remember this and keep it in your heart --
When it comes into your life.
Give it to others who seem poor in spirit.
Love has its own time, its own season,
If it chooses to leave,
You ARE entitled to love yourself
You are ALWAYS doing the best
Practice being as gentle with yourself
Speak kindly and lovingly to yourself
Listen in to your body and your belly feelings.
When you feel sad, depressed or in grief,
Listen to your angry, nasty,
When you feel scared or anxious,
Go only as fast as the slowest part
Remember that growth is a process,
When you feel discouraged,
Remember, too, that all life moves in cycles,
When you're tired, rest!
Remember that rest is a sacred act -
When it gets hard, remind yourself
but by the moments that take our breath away."
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love. (Lao-Tse)
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry -- I was wrong.
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the
Little Things in life.
when we lock up our hearts
and fail to heed
the outstretched hand
reaching to find
a kindred spirit
whose heart and mind
are lonely and longing
to somehow share
our joys and sorrows
and to make us aware
that lifes's completeness
and richness depends
on the things we share
with our loved ones and friends.
again and again, never ever give up....
until you both feel as you have never felt before...
if you give up on ever being embraced with love...
then you have given up on living....
only until that moment of true Embracing
can you truly feel that you have been
Embraced with Love
It is a mystery when it happens.

It is a mystery when some loves grow,
