<div class="MsoNormal">A young wife troubled by her constant upsets with her husband traveled a long way to find a famous Guru for advice.<span> </span>He greeted her warmly and having rough edges the young lady skipped the pleasantries and went right to her question asking “Is love eternal? Does it ever go away with Upsets?”<span> </span>The Guru smiled knowing what she was asking but knowing that if he told her directly she would never learn.<span> </span>He simply said.<span> </span>Much like you rudely bypassed the pleasantries of a proper greeting and introduction when coming to see me, love is eternal and very forgiving even between mere strangers.<span> </span>My love for other souls made me give you a second chance and not dismiss you for your uncouth behavior. Your love for your husband made you travel very far for an answer to your question.<span> </span>Love is eternal but human relations are built on more than just love. <span> </span>She started to ask another question and as rudely as she cut his warm welcome he cut her off and told her to think about it for two weeks and come back and tell him her discoveries.<span> </span>He dismissed her by bowing slightly and warmly wishing her a good trip back to her village.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He expected her to be tenacious and sure enough two weeks later she was before him once again, and this time she observed all social protocols with him but not from her heart just from tradition without the warmth and joy of greeting another soul.<span> </span>He saw it as progress in this young lovely soul.<span> </span>He admired that despite her lack of wisdom she was strong inside and willing to follow her convictions to the end.<span> </span>After the pleasantries he bid her to ask her question and she said “do you mean that Love is not strong enough to keep two people together?”<span> </span>He smiled and said to her—a plant Loves light and with light it can produce food and stay healthy always.<span> </span>It can actually use light 24 hours a day never tiring of it.<span> </span>But light, as wonderful as it is to a plant; is not her only need, it also needs mineral and water.<span> </span>Having light will make it so happy and healthy and it can the main ingredient to its healthy life but a plant getting all the light it can will wither and die without the other ingredients.<span> </span>Love is like that light for us, it inspires and warms up and make us happy but we need more than love to achieve complete happiness.<span> </span>Like with the plant we favour it and bend over backwards to get it but in the end without water and nutrients a relationship cannot survive.<span> </span>She thought about it and knowing he was done and will dismiss her anyway she wisely got up and bid him a good day—to her great pleasure, this time from the heart.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Six months later a young lady came to see him. Her aura light was very bright and colorful and her soul was at peace though her heart was not entirely at peace.<span> </span>Her composure and sweetness was such that only Gurus like him could see the pain. After warm pleasantry he realized whom she was.<span> </span>He never really looks at people’s faces and bodies, he looks at their aura and recognizes their aura and this aura was transformed and showed a great deal of maturity and wisdom.<span> </span>After a second look, recognized the crass young girl that had twice visited him before.<span> </span>They talked calmly without hurry or purpose two just two content souls enjoying each other’s company!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">All the while they were talking he smiled from the joy of seeing that she no longer had a question for him but had a lesson learned to share with him.<span> </span>She told of how she was always short with her husband. He was not an easy man but just looking at her beauty always calmed him and he gave her a great deal more than what he took from her. She wanted to live her own life and enjoy their togetherness only when it pleased her thinking that life is long and she had time to give him loving after she enjoyed life the way she wanted to.<span> </span>No matter how much he called to her to spend time with him, many times she found some excuse and always put others that she would have more fun with before him.<span> </span>She loved him dearly but thought that her love, though she hardly ever expressed it to him, was enough and would make him understand that she wanted to spend her time doing things more exciting with others and living life while she was young so that when she was old she could give him all the loving he deserved.<span> </span>She was happy living life big and although he complained he never ever left her.<span> </span>She took that as a sign that love was eternal and it emboldened her belief that he can wait because she had no doubt whatsoever that he loved her dearly so he can sacrifice a little without her so she can enjoy her life.<span> </span>She was short and dismissive with him and when he complained she always accused him of not understanding her or caring for her needs and because he loved her he always relented.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After her last visit she decided to be more loving to give him more and devote more time to him.<span> </span>To her surprise her life was less exciting but more fulfilling.<span> </span>Each day she looked forward to her first kiss in the morning and to snuggling with him in the weekends.<span> </span>She loved that she was happy with his love and loving him.<span> </span>She also discovered that because her heart was opening to him that they actually did a lot more things she liked before; but this time together with her friends instead of leaving him behind.<span> </span>Sharing all those things with him made it more special because instead of only her memory making the fun special now they had two memories that relished those moments and noticed different things that together made the experience better. She was happy enjoying the eternal love they shared.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It happened that the long lifetime they had ahead did not pan out as he suffered a massive heart attack and almost died.<span> </span>The heart that loved her so much failed.<span> </span>He had only a few days to prepare as his heart was too damaged from the attack. He was conscious but barely able to move and kissing him was her greatest joy.<span> </span>At this time she did not want to leave his side thinking that she only had a few days with him left but he encouraged her to leave.<span> </span>She was confused because before he only wanted her with him and now only having a few days left he wanted her to enjoy life without him. <span> </span>He explained that loving her when he knew she loved him back was that the gift of their eternal love. Not just guessing it but knowing and feeling her Love in his heart made him free to be without her because his heart was secure and full of her. Thinking of her enjoying herself was a joy for him and a joy that since they could not share together now he was happy to give her and receive from her as a gift when she shared it with him.<span> </span>They talked about what would happen when he left and they did spend a lot of time together but he would send her for a walk and enjoyed her stories of how beautiful life was and he said that his greatest gift in the end was her sharing a life she had never seen before she admitted Love to him, a life full of brightness and joy. He told her that just listening to her stories on things she enjoyed about life even as he was dying made him happy and hopeful that she would share such joy with another love. He was not afraid of her loving another after him and even welcomed it because her happiness was his greatest joy in life and knowing she found another love would never change the Love she had for him.<span> </span>For even after he said goodbye their love would remain eternal because one Love cannot replace another, it can only create its own Love separate and different than their love.<span> </span>He died three weeks after his heart attack as she was telling him the story of the beautiful walk down the blooming cherry blossom and how beautiful they were. He simply looked at her and thanked her for making her life his life and smiled. The nurses that attended to him after he passed cried saying they had never seen someone die looking so content.<span> </span>She knew he was content because he treasured her and died with a vision of her in the sunlight surrounded by the beauty of nature as her words share her life with him.<span> </span>His love would live eternally in her and the cherry blossom tree she planted on top of his ashes would for the length of her life contain her love for him.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Seeing her smile from her soul about the joy that was her life with her husband made the Guru very happy. She had no more questions about Love. She had very few things in life that she could not enjoy or understand because her husband’s gift to her was discovering that Love is Eternal!<o:p></o:p></div><br />

Apple has been the leader at everything they do since the very beginning. It clearly beat IBM it only true competitor to the punch and it beat the phone companies to the next generation phone and it beat everyone to the reinvention of the PC table into the iPad.<br />
<br />
Apple is clearly better and greater than any other player at innovation. However it will always lose as it has in the past to the agile copycats because in order. To be great it also has to be dictatorial. Google is already surpassing it on copies of their phones and tablets and the gap will widen faster and faster.<br />
<br />
Google like Microsoft before is overtaking it and will soon relegate it to a boutique brand again. Apple need to strike the balance that now Microsoft is exhibiting before it can compete effectively beyond the first early adaptors and people showing off with the popular brand.<br />
<br />
<b>TAKEAWAY<br />
</b>Be great; be an innovator, but keep pace and balance yourself with agility and a touch of humility.<br />

<b>Blessed are the Ones who make life special,</b><b><b>whether through existing in the same life path,</b><br />
<b>or by simply passing by at the right moment;</b></b><br />
<b>or even more obscurely by some action they and you did not know they took.</b><br />
<br />
<b>In life we are often too busy to recognize the blessed Ones,</b><b><b>whose influence in our lives are crucial in one way or another,</b><br />
<b>without them, our lives may have taken different turns</b><br />
<b>and make whom we are different</b></b><br />
<b>For such is the power of the Blessed Ones!</b><br />
<br />
<b>Not all Blessed Ones are a positive influence,</b><b><b>many Blessed Ones affect us negatively;</b><br />
<b>but their influence nonetheless is as important as those that give us joy</b></b><br />
<b>for it is their negativity that teaches us a proper path in life; so they too are Blessed Ones even if they move our lives through chaos.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Let it be known, that all the blessed Ones cannot be recognized,</b><b><b>some that have blessed you are not known to you or you to them but they have,</b><br />
<b>for some remain in obscurity and some cannot be divulged,</b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">As I have posted before, I learn a great deal from jokes. Here is one of my three favorite learning jokes. I am not religious but believe in the miracle of positive thinking. I also believe that when we ask and receive that is an everyday miracle and often as per one of my favorite songs, when we wish and not receive that could also be a miracle because it may turn out that what we wished for was not very good for us! Here is the joke:</div><h2>A Joke with Wisdom never to be forgotten</h2><blockquote>A religious man is on top of a roof during a great flood. A man comes by in a boat and says "get in, get in!" The religious man replies, " no I have faith in God, he will grant me a miracle."</blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"></div><blockquote>Later the water is up to his waist and another boat comes by and the guy tells him to get in again. He responds that he has faith in god and god will give him a miracle. With the water at about chest high, another boat comes to rescue him, but he turns down the offer again cause "God will grant him a miracle."</blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"></div><blockquote>With the water at chin high, a helicopter throws down a ladder and they tell him to get in, mumbling with the water in his mouth, he again turns down the request for help for the faith of God. He arrives at the gates of heaven with broken faith and says to Peter, I thought God would grand me a miracle and I have been let down." St. Peter chuckles and responds, "I don't know what you're complaining about, we sent you three boats and a helicopter."</blockquote><h2>Miracles do not have to be supernatural to be miracles!</h2><div class="MsoNormal">Jesus and some of the saints performed some flashy miracles and so I suppose when we think of miracles we often think of something supernatural happening to prove it a miracle. It is said that God works in mysterious ways and if that is true He would not normally be flashy unless He needed to be for His on purposes. This joke illustrates His wisdom, even in the deadly sin of the vanity of the man to expect a flashy miracle; He takes him into his bosom anyway and tries to help him. Every day we encounter things that makes us happy to be alive and gives us joy and behind each moment of joy hides unseen and unsung—a personal miracle!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>What personal miracles have you experienced?</b></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>What is what you would consider the flashiest miracle in your life?</b></div><br />

<br />
I love you,<br />
I love you more than life,<br />
I would give my life for you my daughter..... <br />
But I am too selfish to quit,<br />
I know it hurts you physically and emotionally but I am too addicted to even consider quitting,<br />
My daughter believe me I love you even when I smoke in the car next to you and later hand you your asthma puffer,<br />
My daughter believe me that I love you even if my selfish addition causes me to leave your hospital bedside when you have a respiratory infection I contributed to...just to love my addiction more than you,<br />
My daughter I love you but I cannot consider leaving my addiction even when you beg me to stop because it irritates your eyes and causes you ear infections...I can only think of me at those times,<br />
My daughter I love you and I am so sorry I let you die alone calling for me, when I was adoring the poison that killed you, it was just 5 minutes away from you surely you understand; it called me more than your need for me, but I let you die alone after I took your life away with my poison, my poison let you die alone…and as I used it to calm my nerves as I watched you far from you through the open door of the mortuary because I need it more than I need to feel close to you before they buried you…<br />
My husband I love you but I cannot put your wishes and needs before my addiction, I cannot listen when you beg me to stop for our daughter and for me and you,<br />
My husband I love you and want to be there for you and our daughter but you know I need to smoke to keep my weight down-its a great excuse,<br />
My husband I love you, but all of my friends smoke and I need to fit in, can’t you think of my needs for once when you ask me to quit after our daughters gets her bad asthmas attacks?<br />
My husband I love you but you know I cannot stop because I need my addiction to make my life complete, <br />
I know you love me but stop being selfish and think of me, I need to have a little pleasure in life, I don’t complain when you snore all night long, please do not give me guilt trips when you and our daughters get a cold more often than others,<br />
My husband I would give my life for you so please do not tell me that my skin is aging fast, my voice is like that of an old lady, and my breathe smells like an ashtray, I love you but not even my love is stronger than my need for my fix..... <br />
My daughter I love you and wanted you to live a long healthy life, but even when faced with your cancer, and knowing I contributed to it, I still leave your bedside to go to my addiction for comfort.... <br />
<br />
My husband, my sickly daughter, I love you both more than life itself, even when I literarily help take the life out of you and me!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-32654867290922988642011-04-23T07:33:00.000-07:002011-04-23T07:33:56.316-07:00I Love You But I Knowingly Poison You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://topnews.in/files/Children-Smoking1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://topnews.in/files/Children-Smoking1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
When I wanted you I had to work extra hard to overcome the effects of the poison on my body because they tried to stop me from getting pregnant,<br />
When I knew you started growing in me, I thought about it, but selfishly loved the poison too much to stop,<br />
When I felt you kicking as my blood poisoned you, I ignored the signs that I was taking your oxygen away and replacing it with many poisons,<br />
When you were borne underweight and needed to stay in the hospital, I left you alone many times an hour to let my sweet poison calmed my nerves as I worried for you,<br />
I was “ a responsible mom” and fed my addition only when away from you, but because I had to leave you in your crib alone to feed my poison you almost died from SIDS many time, even more than the times I discovered you,<br />
When the asthma left you breathless and your allergies kept you in bed, I held you and told you how much I loved you but was too selfish to quit for your love and your health,<br />
When my doctor warned me I needed to quit to improve my health, I thought only of my fix and not of what I would do to you,<br />
When the last site I saw was your crying eyes next to me as I left this world, I wanted to take it all back but I was leaving my five year old love because I did not love him enough to quit! <br />
If you love your child quit smoking or using tobacco products before you harm them or leave them with the scar of losing a parent. If you do not quit for yourself quit for your child, they deserve their health and yours and they deserve growing to adulthood with their mom by their side!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-50794513084980606612011-04-23T07:26:00.000-07:002011-04-23T07:26:16.655-07:00Only One Love is Stronger Than My Love for You—Only One<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01293/smoking_1293425c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01293/smoking_1293425c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
I love you but I love my addition more,<br />
I love you but I poison your lungs when I smoke next to you,<br />
I love you but I contributed to your asthma, ear infections, and almost killed you with your SIDS,<br />
I love you but when you can’t breathe because of your asthma all I can do is smoke away from you,<br />
I love you but when you get more colds than most, when your lung functions are lower, when you look at me with your feverish eyes, I just need to smoke more to calm my nerves as I worry about you—because I love,<br />
I love you but not enough to care about your health,<br />
I love you enough heroically die for you but not to stop killing myself and you with my smoking,<br />
I love you but you cannot beg me enough to consider my health and save myself for you and save you from the pain I cause you,<br />
I love you but each and every day, 3 times an hour I assault your body with something I know hurts you,<br />
I love you enough but nothing can make me see that I hurt you every day, every waking hour we are together....and at night as you struggle to breathe I sleep calmly and wake first thinking of my nicotine fix even before I check on you I light up, <br />
I am a good mom and I adore you but no matter how much conscious suffering I cause you; my selfish need is more powerful than my love for you!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-84308280603956531592010-03-28T03:45:00.000-07:002011-06-26T08:41:57.195-07:00Courage can exist without Action!<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Similar to beauty courage (and confidence) are in the heart of the beholder,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">A man such as Gandhi that never raised his hand at his oppressors certainly looked cowardly,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">A man like Dr. Martin Luther King always turned the other cheek and definitely did not display courage,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">A man like Hitler that overpowered the world showed great force but certainly did not display personal courage...<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">While for many, these examples definitely signify courage, for many they do not;<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">It is only in their hearts that they gauge the courage of others as the God in Ancient Egypt judged the heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

You travelled far to come into my life,<br />

I will travel far to enter yours,<br />
<br />
Two visitors in a country that is not ours,<br />
<br />
Crossing paths, finding happiness, fulfilling hearts…<br />
<br />
A road very far travelled for two hearts to join as one,<br />
<br />
A joining made more special by the distance and the travel…<br />
<br />
As our hearts wait at the end of that long road to become one…<br />
<br />
One body,<br />
<br />
One mind,<br />

One soul…<br />

With you life is a beautiful song that brings joy to my life beyond that which words can express—<br />

<br />
<br />
When I see another woman, <br />
<br />
I think to myself, I am lucky to have this one,<br />
<br />
Because her beautiful heart says how much she cares by feeling jealousy,<br />
<br />
And through the jealousy she makes me feel loved,<br />
<br />
And through her affectionate ways she makes me know loving care!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While Jealousy is not something good or something I want,<br />
<br />
And while it is negative in many ways and should not exist,<br />
<br />
Jealousy is a statement of Love, even if it is misguided…<br />
<br />
I do not embrace it because it is bad, I recognize it as it speaks to me and I run to it to stump it out—<br />
<br />
For in showing its ugly head it is also showing the beauty of Love behind it and I do want and cherish the Love and when it is stumped out only the beauty of true Love remains!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-65729264067351131502010-02-25T11:47:00.000-08:002011-06-26T08:49:43.895-07:00MunequitoMunequito<br />

<br />
A father brought his son to a huge monument. It was a huge red heart. It was so large that the head had to really arch up to see its end when standing right in front of it. At the base of the monument was a photo of two common looking people holding hands. Beneath them in a gorgeous black onyx wall was inscribed a beautiful story of love.<br />
<br />
After the father read the story to his son he paused and asked him if he understood the meaning of this story. The son grimaced and told him it was just a love story and he was not interested in it. The wise father smiled and acknowledged that he may not be interested on it now, but that he wanted to share it with him now so that by the time that he needed to remember it, they would have had plenty of time to discuss it and remember its many lessons.<br />
<br />
The father then continued to question his son on the meaning of the story and the miracle it represented. And the young son continued to not want to discuss this boring and somewhat embarrassing subject with him. The father persisted saying this was important and he started telling the meaning and behind the scene tale to the story he had read on the wall.<br />
<br />
Once there were two lovers that like many lovers before them had a beautiful and heavenly love. Like all other couples in love, they thought their love was unique and special beyond belief. They thought they were the luckiest people in the world and they knew they had the best and strongest love in the world. There are many beautiful stories of love in the annals of mankind and they thought theirs belonged up there with the most beautiful stories of love.<br />
<br />
One day the man began to think of how strong his love for her was and he began looking for way to demonstrate it. He thought and thought about it and decided to show his love to her by building a large heart in the middle of their ranch. The idea was to build a never ending heart and each day of their lives he would add another layer to it to show their love growing. Well many years came and went and the heart became truly humongous. It was so large that it took the entire family to add new layers everyday and finally when one of them died the heart was completed by the family as the man was too old to put the last layer on. <br />
<br />
But the man’s love was not over and he loved her even when she was in heaven and he thought so more about how to tell her and the world of his love for her. One day he began to pray in front of his alter for her. Everyday three times a day he would pray for an hour. He would pray for God to grant him an easement in heaven so that his heart could project itself into heaven for her to see. This bulky material heart would beam its image as a search light beams itself into the heavens so that it would also reside in heaven for her to see everyday. He never quit and everyday of every year for the rest of his 10 remaining years he prayed with all of his heart. Not knowing whether God heard him or whether she could see the heart in heaven but seeing it in his heart as if she could. That was his gift to her and to the world for he thought that a love so strong should be given to the world. Before he died he donated the ranch to the government so it could be made into a park so that everyone could come celebrate his love for her and so that everyone would bring their love to this special alter of love that in his mind reached to heaven. He also wanted this special place to give love to those that had lost it and give hope to those that thought they may never have it again. This passion for his mate started as just his joy in celebration of their love but it ended being something much bigger since the alter itself became a symbol and a beacon for love on earth. Its great size told everyone who saw it that love does exist and how huge it can be, and even if they just had just a little piece of this love it would still be huge in their own hearts. Also it spoke of family love and the great inspiration love can create in a family as when they could no longer build the layer by themselves the family gave their love and time to help finish this great alter. It started for the love of a woman and a man and it ended representing the love of humanity and the love of heaven. With his faithful prayers he infused the heart with a great energy that all who wanted could feel, and just approaching the heart was enough to soften hard entrenched hearts and open closed hearts. The loyalty and devotion he and his lady showed while alive inspired generations to try harder when times were tough in a relationship specially to find a purpose and a meaning in another heart and not quit without a great deal of consideration; after all they were far from perfect but they had love that kept them together even after death.<br />
<br />
Looking down at this man passing the story and hope of love to his son, the two lovers in heaven smiled and were pleased. He had been heard and everyday when she visited the entrance to heaven she would see the projection of the heart in heaven. It was larger and heavenly beautiful and it spoke to her with every word he uttered in his prayer—it spoke to her. He was not wrong that she could hear him, he knew it in his heart and when he arrive in heaven he saw it. But his great devotion to this most spiritual emotion also inspired heaven. While at first she was the only one that could see it; after a while with her religious visits to the same spot and her smiling face showing equanimity other angels and souls started gathering and she described what she saw and they also started seeing it and they also started visiting. Just before he came to heaven the heart became a permanent part of heaven much to the chagrin of St. Peter who hated the crowds just inside the Pearly Gates that gathered to feed off the heavenly love. The heart was as solid in heaven as the rest of heaven. It because a symbol of love on earth and on heaven as each new soul entering heaven would see it and be reminded of the Love that the House of the Lord represents. To the lovers it was much more however, for they could see what others could not, they could see their names scrolled across it—Nelly & Rey and they rejoiced in this special heavenly gift that privately celebrated that special love that started it all!<br />
<br />
With devotion to love two lovers did what no others had done before. They inspired both earth and heaven with their love. By building a heart that represented their huge love they shared their love and made it a family affair. By leaving their love to all, they shared a tool everyone could use to bring love into their own hearts and for eons after they parted the earth, this symbol increased the love quotient of the earth!<br />
<br />
Back on earth the child listened but did not really show interest. For many years the father would speak of the heart and they visited it twice more. The boy became a young man and romantic love opened up in his heart. At once his interest in the Heart Alter became more important but they had moved far away and he could not visit it. However, his father reminded him the heart was just a symbol and a tool. The energy of love existed inside him and love came down from heaven for those that desired it. Like the man praying everyday for his lover in heaven, Love existed in an intangible form and it touched everyone who wished to have it. Understanding, the young man stood and kissed his father gratefully on the forehead, hugged him warmly, and with joy and hope and love in his heart he parted from his father as he uttered, “I Love You”.aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-77222770397804072932010-02-07T12:46:00.000-08:002011-06-26T09:32:42.749-07:00True LoveTrue Love<br />
<br />
True love exists independent of all else,<br />
True love is not dependent on someone loving you back,<br />
True love is not dependent on receiving something from another,<br />
True love is not dependent on what life brings…<br />
True love exists and loves for its own sake…<br />
Nothing influences,<br />
Nothing explains it,<br />
Nothing counts on it,<br />
Nothing can buy it,<br />
Nothing can make it happen, for it is natural and does not depend on anything except itself,<br />
Nothing can shake it or turn it off—<br />
True love is eternal even if space and time takes the edge off, true love never dies.<br />
<br />
True love is pure,<br />
True love gives without expecting;<br />
It hopes,<br />
It wishes, <br />
It has no pride,<br />
It is forgiving and understanding,<br />
It is open and inviting,<br />
It is without malice,<br />
but does not expect anything; it does not need anything to sustain itself…<br />
Yet when reciprocate it sustain a world of beauty for more than its own heart!<br />
<br />
True love exists in defiance of logic and laws of physics and common sense,<br />
True love:<br />
Never Dies,<br />
Never Sleeps,<br />
Never stops wanting and needing and loving!<br />
<br />
True love is wonderful,<br />
Even if it is unrequited,<br />
Even if it causes heartaches at some points,<br />
Even if it loses everything it yearns for…<br />
Its power is wonderful because the feeling and pleasure of loving cannot be matched!<br />
<br />
I am happy I have felt true love,<br />
I rejoice in my gift to love unconditionally,<br />
I feel fortunate to have felt the joy, and as painful as it is, I am not sad to have received the pain of it as well,<br />
Because in the end the pain may be terrible but the pleasure of feeling it is ecstasy!<br />
<br />
I will always celebrate my Love,<br />
I will always Love my Love,<br />
I will always rejoice for the fortune of anyone I love, even if it hurts to not have them,<br />
I will always smile warmly with everything thought and felt about them,<br />
I will always feel warm inside with just a mere thought of them—<br />
And because even in pain love heals and gives comfort, I will always give my best;<br />
Even if I lose, even if I know pain is around the corner if I lose…<br />
Because anything short of my best would not be True Love!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-32993088195399207232010-02-07T12:39:00.000-08:002011-06-26T11:04:58.010-07:00Love is many things simpleLove guarantees you 9½ weeks of no effort and great rewards,<br />
That in the infatuation phase and some say it is the best of love,<br />
Some are even addicted to it and cannot hold long terms relationships,<br />
But true love is tested on Thursday of that magical ½ week when the happy chemicals go away….<br />
True love takes active and conscious effort to maintain,<br />
True love does not take heroic or over the top effort but it does take daily effort,<br />
While true love does not go away without effort, it does not offer its best rewards without it!<br />
Part of the joy of love is the efforts needed to keep it fresh and alive,<br />
The rewards are simple but powerful:<br />
A sigh,<br />
A smile,<br />
A hug,<br />
A Kiss…<br />
But not just any sigh, smile, hug, or kiss—loving ones!<br />
The daily efforts in and of themselves are a source of pleasure if they are perceives in the right way and they do not have to be conscious either…<br />
Much like birds fly together in playful flight or groom each other's feather…<br />
Love can be a simple kiss in the morning and at night,<br />
A simple hug in the morning or just a simple silence if that is what is needed until the person wakes up fully,<br />
Love is a simple act of respect as in holding back foul words in an argument or even in daily life, for Love is not just about what you do but also about what you do not do;<br />
Love is a simple phone call or text message saying you are on my mind even if those words are not spoken,<br />
Love is a simple act such as showing up with flowers once in a blue moon or taking your pareja outside to watch the blue moon while you tell them how spectacular is the huge universe and the luck you had to have found her or him in its vastness,<br />
Love is a simple chocolate kiss left for them in their lunch bag,<br />
Love is a simple I Love You every once in a while or a simple loving term such as Amor, Love, Mi Vida...<br />
Love is a simple look that takes the lookers breathe away at seeing the beauty of his Love and leaves that person with the absolute knowledge they are wanted and loved from a simple look,<br />
Love is a simple stroke on the inside of the wrist that says "I want you" even with its gentlest touch that speaks volumes for the hot passion inside you…<br />
Love does not take huge actions such as buying a car, taking an expensive vacations, or buying the largest diamond in the world…there is nothing wrong with these actions but they are a rare and while they are remembered more than the simple kiss in the morning, they do not stimulate the love on a daily basis…they are not needed just greatly appreciated!<br />
The secret to a great adventure of love is to do your daily playful flight and daily grooming like love birds;<br />
Add a good measure of kissing and hugging and the heart cannot help but feel the twangs of love!<br />
Love is not enough to keep a pair together but daily love goes a long way to give them just one more reason to stay together…love does not conquer all but love does make all conquerable and absolutely make the world a more wonderful place!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971572358581031888.post-18165677231345582872010-02-07T12:32:00.000-08:002011-06-26T11:05:31.650-07:00Life is full of GiftsLife is wondrous and wonderful,<br />
Life gives us so much that often we can't believe it could be real,<br />
Life gives us some grief but on balance life gives us happiness…<br />
With its many wonderment life is as beautiful as you care to see it!<br />
<br />
Life gives us choices and life guides us in ways we sometimes cannot see,<br />
Life always takes us where we need to be:<br />
Even if we do not know we are there,<br />
Even if we do not feel we need it,<br />
Even if we want something else,<br />
Even if we resist seeing the reason it has guided us there,<br />
Even if we refuse to go where it takes it, it takes us…<br />
Life is wonderful if we accept it, even when it is difficult to understand its purpose.<br />
<br />
Life brings us many gifts that we do not receive because we do not see them or value them,<br />
Life gives us in abundance what we need even if often we do not accept them,<br />
Life fills us with potential to love life if we care to see what it offers…<br />
Life offers a myriad of choices and gifts and always it is what we make of it—<br />
Life never leaves us empty of fortune but we often empty our lives of fortune;<br />
Life always gives, it is up to us to take!aWiserStartComhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07986101773815613901noreply@blogger.com0
