If you find 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 honoured 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
