When I was a child I thought love is what everyone looked for in life. When I grew older I discovered love is what everyone is. You don't have to look for it, you are already there. Love is you and when you look around you everything that God has made is love. The trees are love, the flowers, everything.
So when I say love is slippery it's because love is meant to grow, and to be free. It's a force of nature, free like the wind and changeable like the tides. It's a living breathing potent force of nature. You can heal with love, touch with love, make love, or be afraid of love. What you cannot ever do with love is destroy it. It is the fabric that holds together our very existence. The fabric we were comprised of and our very beings.
Decide to become a force of love and you'll change your whole existence. Love can permeate the worst of situations and eliminate the worst of feelings. So decide on love and what kind of love you want in your life. The love you save may just be your own."
L.O.V.E.
Love is a funny thing to describe. It's so easy to feel and yet so slippery to talk about. It's like a bar of soap in the bathtub, you have it in your hand until you hold on too tight.
Some people spend their lives looking for love outside themselves. They think they have to grasp it in order to have it. But loves slips away like that wet bar of soap.
Holding on to love is not wrong, but you need to learn to hold it lightly, caressingly. Let it fly when it wants. When it's allowed to be free, love is what makes life alive, joyful, and new. It's the juice and energy that motivates my music, my dancing, everything. As long as love is in my heart, it's everywhere.
