11-8-05 What is Love?

That is a great song by Howard Jones popular in the 80's. I like that song.

Love and infatuation are completely separate emotions. Thanks for reminding me D. Infatuation is often first and sometimes temporary. Love is the stronger of the two. It can last many lifetimes or only a short time. Love can happen even if you aren't in a "couple" type relationship. Love is very flexible and can be used in many different layers. It is also versatile in that there is no limit to what types of people, places, ideas, ways...that you can "love" or express "love".
Love in one instance means that you care about someone so much that you would take their place if you could. That you are there for them NO MATTER WHAT! That you would take their problem as your own if you could so that they could take a break from the drama. That you even feel their sadness, happiness, whatever as if it were you in the same situation. That you want them to be great in everyway and will share your wisdom with them should they need it. Love can happen quickly or slowly. People elicit all types of emotions from others. Have you ever "clicked" with someone so strongly that you felt a spark or even saw one? Have you ever met someone so like you, who completed your thoughts or shared the same ideas on your same level? It is amazing! It can also be love.
Love means many things to many people. The beginning of this blog is my opinion of love. To be loved by me, is an honor, is a sign of strength, hope, courage, trust and that is not given to many on a true level. Infatuation is easier to throw around and something that you can eventually "get over".
So, those of mine whose correspondence is signed "Love," you are chosen ones. You have blessed me with greatness that is unique to you.
