| LOVE If you
find yourself in love with someone who does not
love you, be gentle with yourself.
There
is nothing wrong with you.
Love
just didn't choose to rest in the other person's
heart.
If
you find someone else in love with you and you
don't love her/him, feel honored that love came
and called at your door, but gently refuse the
gift you cannot return.
Do
not take advantage, do not cause pain.
How
you deal with love is how you deal with you, and
all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even
if our lives and ways are different.
If
you fall in love with another, and she/he falls
in love with you, and then love chooses to leave,
do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame, Let
it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning.
You will know in time.
Remember
that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All
you can really do is accept it for all its
mystery when it comes into your life.
Feel
the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach
out and give it away.
Give
it back to the person who brought it alive in
you. Give it to others who deem it poor in
spirit. Give it to the world around you in anyway
you can.
This
is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so
long without love, they understand love only as a
need.
They
see their hearts as empty places that will be
filled by love, and they begin to look at love as
something that flows to them rather than from
them.
The
first blush of new love is filled to overflowing,
but as their love cools, they revert to seeing
their love as need.
They
cease to be someone who generates love and
instead become someone who seeks love.
They
forget that the secret of love is that it is a
gift, and that it can be made to grow only by
giving it away.
Remember
this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own
time, its own seasons, and its own reason for
coming and going.
You
cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into
saying.
You
can only embrace it when it arrives and give it
away when it comes to you.
But
if it chooses to leave from your heart or from
the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can
do and there is nothing you should do.
Love
always has been and always will be a mystery.
Be
glad that it came to live for a moment in your
life.
Don't
deny love just only you don't want to be hurt...
IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN, IT WILL COME AGAIN
