It's funny, you know. You're taught that love is all you need, and it's enough. It has to be enough. Then you get a little older, and you realize things such as responsibility, and trials, and error. But you're still young enough to think love is enough. Nothing, nothing hurts so bad as when you realize, love isn't enough.


But it doesn't stop me from still trying to believe it.

I hear you and empathize with you.
My semi-proverbial cyber-shoulder is here for you.

we live, we love, we give. but we never give up. if we give up, we have not accomplished our one goal in life.

Marla ji meet Gangaji (g as in get)

"The love that you search for everywhere is already present within you. It may be evoked by any number of people or events.
A mountain can evoke this love.
A sunset can evoke this love.
But finally, you must realize you are this love. The source
of all love is within you."

from: the Diamond in your Pocket

More succinct and less verbose than Eckhart Tolle. A fast read.

A tad tedious and a dab dated,
"New Passages" by Gail Sheehy
offers some insights into life's
passages. Read pertinent pages
at local bookstore and skim the rest.
