“That’s how love got lost,” he said. “When we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn’t appear.”

Love comes when we least expect it. I should never, ever be looked for.
I think!
Elena
…. and what do you do when the two of you come together, but the one is part of a union with another? Is it Love when its held in secrecy? When the other is ignorant of where the first love’s heart really is? Is it love when a partner does not face the gap missing and face it with their partner? …. I believe love to be honourable, gentle, kind, brave, honest and respectful – tis is what makes love pure – and then when its time for it to blow on and take one of us with it – then we have the responsibility to let those in our heart’s know in an open way …. Or we have the choice to rekindle what is dying and being lost …. Is Love then not our Teacher in fact,arriving when the student is ready for the next lesson of the heart? This we cannot control … but the choices we make after its arrival – I believe are ours alone … am I on the track? of have I lost the plot somewhere?
So true Hildegarde, so sad but true. I only hope that sooner or later the love finds its way to show the sun again.
love to you and all,

Parents can also be guilty of this: Putting expectations on children. Saying “men don’t cry, men don’t show emotion”etc. etc. giving shame and guilt to the child. When you tell a child rules of when to express their thoughts, their minds, and restrict them from it, the child then forgets how to express, and ask for love. He/She expresses it by being anxious, angry, or isolated. Great quote.
Where are “ifs” and “buts” there is no love
PS : it’s only a song, I’m fine hope U R 2;)
U 2 Mr Coehlo.
I love U both now.
Peace
and be happy!

Achtung Baby
“So Cruel”
We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn’t matter to you
It matters to me
We’re cut adrift
We’re still floating
I’m only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love
I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn’t what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you’re nowhere
Oh love you say in love there are no rules
Oh love sweetheart
You’re so cruel
Desparation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God’s only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
Oh love you say in love there are no rules
Oh love sweetheart
You’re so cruel
She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love like a screaming flower
Love dying every hour love
You don’t know if it’s fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing, you can’t keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
Oh love you say in love there are no rules
Oh love sweetheart
You’re so cruel
Oh love to stay with you I’d be a fool
Sweetheart you’re so cruel
by U2
In a religious perspective Love in God, so as Gaod can’t be described or widely understood, also Love can’t be described. So maybe the best answer is that love simply is…
The more I think about important Themes suche as life, love, Mankind and so on the more I realize that every subjects has two aspects that live together, one positive and one negative (black and white). It’s almost difficult for people to know them both, but I realized that people who follow particular inner paths of knowledge at the end can easily “see” bothe aspetcs of everithing and they become free from every thought that meke the men slave.
have a nice day.
Love doesn’t want to obey our rules but we like to think that it does! :o)
Love comes when we are least expecting it and reveals its charm on us. Sometimes it seems that our minds are empty of it but our hearts cherish its beauty and glow forever, even when our minds are not aware of this! ;-) I am simply fascinated about love, which is in essence so incredibly simple and yet so complex to be understood and explained. I believe in love with all my heart and I also believe that love is beyond everything else because it simply is, it is sufficient for itself, it doesn’t need anything because it is already complete. We are the ones who need it to manifest in our lives! We need to become love, to identify ourselves with the eternal Spirit, just like that and then we will become completely free. :-)
All the best in the world,

yes…love has no rules..is free like a wind..
