YOU’VE GOT MAIL

YouGotMail-25

A classic to me, that movie, “You’ve Got Mail”.  I enjoy the interaction of the characters played by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.  It’s romantic, simple and lovely.  Two people defy the odds of life, they fall in love despite themselves, with all their animus, they are “meant to be”.  Are two people really meant to be?

Well, I guess that depends who you ask.  If you ask a romantic, positive-thinking person such as myself, then the answer is an unequivocable YES!  People aren’t limited by love’s range, nor is there some magic boundary line whereby you must encircle the potential candidates whom meet geographical, sociological, ethnic, nor any other barrier-related condition.  In other words, love is free to wander the Earth looking for open willing hearts toLoveSculpture - Red seed with the most powerful and beautiful flowers known to gardens.  Love is immeasurable, infinite and uncontainable.  Don’t try to put it into some preconceived plot of land, call it impossible and nor refrain from letting it flow.  Love requires freedom to roam, open-minded faith in not only its possibility but also its probability and an effortless energy which allows love to spread like a wave upon the land.

Two people can not only love one another despite all odds . . those of distance, time, language, background, history, and communication ability, but they can thrive in the process, finding their differences are the jet engines which make love’s ties stronger and more intricately woven between them both.  Love is a miracle, it is capable of anything, to doubt that a person can live thousands of miles away, and still find genuine love with a person so unlikely is hard to fathom.  But you know, I know such a love, and I know to not doubt the sheer genius of love as it is designed to bend around corners, fly over mountain peaks, race through barriers and defy all odds of gravity!  Love is like water, if flows freely, without barrier, it will seep and drip, ooze and flow everywhere without being contained!  Love is a sea, there are moments of intense waves, even keel tides and ebbing calm . . . love is wondrous  like a vast, deep sea . . with some of the most amazing emotions, feelings and sensations all held within the human spirit.  Let the sea of love wash over you in this lifetime, don’t cower from the chance to be swept away!

It’s All Part of Wisdom’s Process…

It’s all part of wisdom’s process…

 ItsYourRoad-25We all have within us a sense of what is right & wrong, to us. It is those things which, when we cross our own boundary lines, acting or thinking or doing what we ourselves “know” is in conflict with what we inherently believe, cause us to feel we’ve compromised ourselves even if just a bit. We all know when enough is enough, or when we’re accepting something into our lives which isn’t in keeping with our own tenets of morality or sense of rightness. It’s only when we actually cross that line & go beyond the border that we ebb away pieces of our own shoreline. Like a pounding wave we didn’t necessarily perceive as destructive, it exposes our vulnerable parts of soul & spirit a bit to erosion & we lose a part of ourselves in the process each time it Longbeach2occurs. We can rebuild, but only when we stop making excuses for that we are doing or compromising our own integrity long enough to recognize that the fault belongs with our own foolhardy choices. That’s part of wisdom’s process . . we learn best by our mistakes because we are then forced to become better protectors of our own shoreline of self! If we don’t learn to protect our bodies & our core of being throughout this life, we are eroded like the shorelines blasted by numerous repetitive waves over time, nothing much will remain of what once made ourselves. Compromise seems like an innocuous matter when first pondering that inherent sense sparking within you, but when you choose to ignore it time & time again, acting or being or thinking in opposing ways to your own inherent set of values & beliefs, you will erode parts of yourself.
