It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations — Kahlil Gibran
Have you ever met someone that you thought that special feeling would happen and then said “nah it’s not going to” and it does?” Then when it does it is the best thing that has ever happened to you and you will do anything to protect it? Well, many people have and I even bet a bunch of you have..
I think love occurs on a different plane than here. You can be in the same room with them but this feeling, doesn’t occur here. In every person there lies a spirit that needs to find another. It is the force that keeps us wanting, searching, driving on for the “something very special that we know is out there”. When you meet someone, you know whether or not you click with this person. It’s not like you have interchangeable parts that connect when you are introduced. “Hi, I’m Tom. Hi, I’m Jane. Where’s your Lego part?” It is the spirit in the person that reaches out and connects or touches the other ( now keep in mind many times looks will play a part in it. Let’s face it - you can’t spot brains from across a room). You may only have a very short time and this may well be the only time so if you don’t act on it then, you may have lost something you could have treasured for the rest of your life.
And no - mutual respect comes from longevity. MAYBE. Not necessarily love. But you have to take the moment for what it is whenever you can. And sometimes - just sometimes - it works. Other times, well, it is just a lesson learned. But you learned it. Do you sometimes grasp the moment and go with it for what it is and what it may bring you or do you always wait and think about things planing for the future and just maybe miss out of opportunities which type are you? I’d like to hear just which type you are.

Can you be a “goer” and “thinker” at the same time? I am. If I get a feeling inside that feels right I lunge… and pull back because of past hurt. When I was young I was a much better lunger than now. My yearning coninues… but…hurt semms more at the surface and is more powerful. As one matures, I think we sit back and watch… I do. Perhaps I am missing out on the game of “want and ready”. ~great Thinking post~

I take the moment and go with it. The hard part I think is choosing between two people when both connect with you. The wrong choice can be forever.

Hi Sassy!
I’m so sorry to read on my blog about the trials you are currently going through. I had no idea. But don’t you worry, I hadn’t forgotten about you and I definitely will poke my head in to visit from time to time no matter what.:wink:
Sometimes life throws us all a few curve balls, so we sometimes can’t visit as much as we’d like to.
Right now just focus on your piece of mind and keep doing what you’re doing as far as staying positive. I admire your strength and courage during this trying time.
Thanks for the layout complement!:grin:

I agree with the Gibran quote. The spark ignites and the fire burns or is extinguished, depending on the energy given it, unless of course it smolders, waiting for the ripe moment to burst forth. I don’t think it’s possible to “plan” how love affects two people. The person who thinks they control love is riding a tiger and holding its tail. Good luck.

I believe in that special magic that happens between two people. It is rare, but it’s out there. I suppose I was raised with the Cinderella mentality, but in love the heart accepts what the intellect does not.

Love arrives in a flurry of passion then stays having planted the seed that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. That is powerful magic.

I’m a realist. I’m a thinker. I also believe in fate and think if it is to be it will — if not it won’t and timing has nothing to do with it.

Before Sally there was a girl that I loved very much and she loved me! Everything clicked, but not like lego blocks. I use to run to her and she was always waiting for me with open arms. I still think about her, and I still feel like she’s near me, so if I run to her she might be waiting, but she’s gone now, and talking about this makes me sad.
I go with the moment like the date I might go on in two weeks with an old friend who moved back on post! She always liked me before but I was too shy, just played sports and hit my head alot.
