Relationships and Love

I believe that all relationships are like holding a pile of sand in your hand. If you hold the sand loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. But if you hold the sand tightly in your hand and squeeze it, the sand will trickle through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be lost. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person soul, it is likely to remain intact. But if you hold too tightly, with your hand like a fist, too possessively, the love will slip away and be lost.

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we love not enough.
~Maurice Maeterlinck ~

And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, don't let logic interfere, believe your heart instead and give in to love.

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.
~Marguerite de Valois ~

Love is not consolation. It is light.

Only love can bear the truth

Only love can bring us peace

Only love can conquer fear

Only love can testify
Only love can make a miracle of life

Love is not how you forget
But how you forgive.

Not how you listen
But how you understand

Not what you see
But what you feel

And not how you let go
But how you hold on.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
~Anais Nin ~

Because one does not see that love is an activity, a power of the soul, one believes that all that is necessary is to find the right object -- and that everything goes by itself afterward. This attitude can be compared to that of a man who wants to learn to paint but who, instead of learning the art, claims that he has just to wait for the right object, and that he will paint beautifully when he finds it.
~Erich Fromm ~ The Art of Loving~

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

If you loved someone, you couldn’t let lies come between you. No matter what happened - even if you’d already lost each other forever - you owed each other the truth.
~Claudia Gray ~

Believe In Love

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

"When it comes to giving love, the opportunities are unlimited, and we are all gifted."

If you close your arms about love,
you will find that you are left holding only yourself."

~Leo Buscaglia ~

~ I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. ~

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.
~Gilbert K. Chesterton~

Love is the language our hearts use to speak to one another.
For you, my dear, my heart sings.
~Amanda R. Byrd~

The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done.
~Francis William Bourdillon ~

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate:
he who loves finds the door open.

Where love is,
No room
Is too small.

And thou shall love
You shall love with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your being.
Set these words, upon this day, upon your heart.
Teach them faithfully to your children; speak of them in your home and on your way, when you lie down and when you rise up.
~V'ahavta ~

but if you're with the person you love
then forever isn't long enough.

Perfect Love

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover
will require that you continually have the subtlety
of the very wise, the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and
the fortitude of the certain.
~Leo Buscaglia ~

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
~George Gordon Lord Byron ~

~ I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. ~

~ A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die; You hope you've found that special rose, 'Cause you love and care for the one you chose. ~

May this Valentine's Day be filled with love, understanding, and contentment as you journey through life with those you hold dear
