The thing I mean - please forgive me for mentioning it - is Love, or compassion. If you feel this, you have a motive for existence, a guide in action, a reason for courage, an imperative necessity for intellectual honesty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do my thing, and you do your thing, I am not in this world to live up to your expectations & you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. It not, it can't be helped. - Fritz Perls -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am willing to surrender to the awakening of my Soul. Allowing God's love to flow through me now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great is the power of might and mind, but only love can make us kind, and all we are or hope to be, is empty pride and vanity - If love is not a part of all, the greatest man is very small. - Helen Steiner Rice -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love is something to hold, so hold onto love, love is the greatest gift, sent from above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------  CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: This message, together with any attachments is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

QUOTE (ann geee @ Aug 16 2006, 08:28 PM) I say, if you're looking for love in this world GOOD LUCK. We can start be being the one who GIVES the love. Love also requires a degree of vulnerability - you have to be willing to take a risk - the risk that your love will not be returned. Still, love needs to be given without the expectation of return - love itself is enough. This is the agape love that is described below. Ancient Greek has three words for love: agape: Love as kindness, sharing, charity, generosity, etc. philos: Filial love, also deep, deep platonic love eros: Erotic love (Eros, would be more guarded - to be completely vulnerable could result in some serious abuse - abuse also can happen when the trusting of philos is reciprocated by unwanted eros - child abuse would fall into this category). Look at Christ - Who is the fountain of Love - there wasn't exactly a whole lot that was given back to Him, but this did not keep Him from loving or BEING LOVE. One of the major titles of Christ in Greek is "Philanthropos" = or the lover/friend of humankind. We may not find eros or even philos - but I believe that we can always radiate agape and find external manifestations of agape in this world. |

QUOTE 1975 by Stevie Nicks
This one's for you daddy. I took my love and I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 'Till Landslide brought me down Oh mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my life? Mmm mmm I don’t know Mmm mmm Mmm mmm Well I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I Built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older, I’m getting older too Soo (Interlude) I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I I built my life around you But time makes you bolder, children get older I’m getting older too I’m getting older too Soo take this love, take it down Ohh if you climb a mountain and you turn around If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills Well the landslide will bring it down, down And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills, Well maybe, the landslide will bring it down Well well the landslide will bring it down -------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: This message, together with any attachments is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
