"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love 'never' fails 1 Cor. 13:4-8
it's something to aspire to.
That kind of freedom of being seems almost unreal but you have to know it's possible to notice it when it comes. I believe I've experienced it. I know because it's been years, she has a husband and a daughter now and I still love her and I'm so happy for her. It's elusive. Something that, once it touches you, you will spend the rest of your life searching for and longing to stand in its light again. Almost nothing else will suffice. Strike that. Nothing else will suffice though you can be content in its memory. I'm not even sure what I'm getting at. I've been feeling horribly lately and have been trying to find one stabilizing thought. This is what came to mind. The past and the possibility of it all. The one thing in my life that is truly untainted and pure. I've never questioned it and it has always been a great comfort to me that I know what is possible. I know that I am capable of real love. For my friends, my family, the woman I will one day marry and for the children I will have with her. It's that simple.
have you experienced love? tell me about it.
