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
him/her, 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 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! |
