doves & bats

There is nothing easy about learning to love. The real romantic must be very practical: it takes a lot of hard, unromantic work to sustain any human relationship. Naturally there are going to be differences between you and your partner. Identical twins have differences of opinion, so whyshould two people from, say, New York City and Paris, Texas, expect life together to be smooth sailing?

Even on the honeymoon there may be difficulties. You open Pandora's box expecting a lot of doves and out come a couple of bats instead. You have to be ready to say, "The doves are there; they're simply lying low. Why don't we get to work and shoo away these bats?" Rather than dwelling on the negative, try to respect the potential in the other person and help him or her to realize that potential through your support. If you want a relationship to get deeper and deeper with the passage of time, you will go on strengthening it all your life.

...the greatest love of all...

...is easy to acheive...

...learning to love yourself...

...it is the greatest love of all...

I have thus planted the first seed and so I shall allow it time to grow. I am not attached but I am not indifferent either. For in her I see me and in that I see all and in all I see God. Whatever route I take, I eventually come back to full circle. The step I take now leads me one inch closer to that which is within. It is a spiritual quest. Who is it that I love but myself? And what is self but God?

This is my song. "I say it best, when I say nothing at all."

When I do speak my thoughts and feelings, the person who listens gets the wrong impression. So, it is really worthwhile for me to maintain status quo.

Nevertheless, what is in my heart is the purest emotion, but words are not the only method of talking.

Silence is the root of all communication.
