Thoughts for the day

[CellarDweller]

Life is always a question of Love??

That depends on how you mean the question, Artiste.

There are matters that I have discovered that need attention, that love has no bearing on.

However, there are matters where love plays a definite role in.

[Shakesthecoffecan]

That is the thing with Artiste's questions, owing to the difference in language and the mode of translation, they come out a bit escew, a bit poetic, like an archer firing off a frisbee at a deer and hitting a watermellon insted.

That is certainly an interesting question Artiste, one I will have to take inside my head for a while and study on. Certainly it seems that way. A life without love would be very bleak. A lot of our life is taken up with love, certainly in this generation and time. I am not sure about past times.

I think, and more to the point, a lot of our lives are taken up with our perceptions of love.  I think it was on Gary's thread that the discussion about politics in relationships took place.  I think it's the same with the whole concept of love.  Far too many people approach this very ethereal of human states from a "what's in it for me" perspective; from a position of power and dominance.  I don't happen to think that real love is quantifiable or qualifiable.  It simply is, and you take whatever gifts it brings into your life without asking "why can't it be more?" or "what will I get out of this?"

So my thought for the day is in responce to Artiste's question earlier,


Not always....

[Artiste]

Thanks very much Shakestheground, Scott, CellarDweller!!!

Devoir accompli? (Task of life accomplished?, might be those two words translated from French to English?). There is a force which drives one to live. Certainly for me. Is is Love? Is is that for you too? What OTHER forces associates with Love??

Life is always a question of Love? may I repeat that. Since, I feel that one can NOT live without [more]LOVE, LOVE BEING WHAT MOTIVATES US TO LIVE EVERYDAY[/move][/b]??

Hugs!!! Hugs!!! Hugs!!!

Well since you put it tha way, I would say from my experence it is not Love that motivates me, that is the driving force of my life. It is Joy. Love can certainly breing joy, but I have seen it and experenced it with out love at all.

And example is the story I told the other day on my ramblings thread about Sarah Carter and Coy Bayes. That story is like a stitch that binds me to reality, connects me with the eternal. It was their love, but it gave me joy to know they over came their obsticles.

Tell you what, somebody oughta start a thread or a forum just for travel tips! 

That is a GREAT idea!!! It seems that many of us are learning a lot about travel and places. What is funny is that our gatherings have made many of us travel much more than we used to. Bettermost and the Brokies have helped the tourism industry. We should get our own discount rate for flights, hotels and the like for belonging to Bettermost

Jack, we DO have discounts on rental cars through Enterprise...PM me if you want the details. And I am planning to work out a deal with Frontier Airlines for Roundup travel next year.

Really? I sure didn't know that. Unfortunately we don't have Frontier airlines here, but I was on one from Denver to Houston. It was a very nice plane. I liked the screen that showed you where the place was at as well as how fast you were flying and at what altitude. I couldn't hardly believe we were flying 500 and something miles per hour. I wish we got discounts for Continental and Northwest airlines. And while I am at it I will say I wish we also got discounts for Westin hotels. I love their hotels and their heavenly beds.
