"Funny thing about love, you are always at its mercy."


--- End quote ---

The closest we can come to divinity, in my opinion, is to be able to say that we love another human being, without reservation, and without expectation of love being a gift that is returned to us.  I know you have great difficulty with the concept of "expectation", but in my heart, I know that the dark side of love loses all of it's hurting power when we can allow ourselves to love, and to lose, and to be hurt, yet still not begrudge the gift of love we have made to another human being.  That certainly does not mean that anyone should keep a person in their lives that is an impediment to our continuing  down our own path of growth and learning.  We can love those people, but leave them.  If we do leave them behind, and have done our best to love them as we are able, then we come closer to the divine.  That isn't placing expectations on them.  It's just a keen sense of what our souls need to flourish.

I'm sure it will.


Unless there is a tragedy where both die at once, with any couple that has made a lifetime commitment, one is left behind to mourn when the other goes on to continue the next part of their journey.  So no matter what my future holds, I'll either be the one on my journey, or the one left to mourn.

Why worry about what I have no control over?


When I said you can look as a positive or negative, it was more along the lines of hating the feelings, reactions, or experiences that come along with being love, or reveling in it.

When I was in love, I reveled in it, experienced it, and loved it.

When he left me, it hurt like hell, I won't lie about that.  But I made it through, rebounded, and found out how strong I truly am.

Last night I was watching an episode of Torchwood. I really like Torchwood and its strange immortal gay character whose name I have yet to learn. Last night one of the characters fell for a woman from 1953, and they admitted their love for one another and after he fell asleap she looked at him and said something like:

"Funny thing about love, you are always at its mercy."

Well, it ramped it up a notch for me.   :-\
