What is Love? An age old Question.

We find what we call love only to have it dashed against the rocks like a ship in a storm.

Is love real or is Love nothing more than an elusive dream to be chased like a rainbow and admired for its beauty but always remaining just out of reach?

Is love interchangeable with need? For far too many it is. So is it correct to say I need you so therefore I love you or I love you therefore I need you. Or can love stand alone on it’s own merit?

Love is a word that is far to often miss-used, misunderstood and used as a tool or a weapon to acquire what is wanted or needed.

So again I ask, “What is Love”. Is it two souls reuniting again and again lifetime after lifetime seeking to live out the dreams that reside within their hearts?

Could it be two souls uniting to become one to stand-alone against the world or maybe it is far too much for mere mortals to understand?

I am not really sure, but I do know it is a journey that two hearts have to take together to find the answers and only in the journey will the answer to the question “What is Love” be found.

I had great love with my ex wife, thought it was for ever but it faded through misuse, you can only forgive so many times. In the end actions chip away at that love and you have to make a decision to either continue accepting those actions or leave.
Still, i know i have the capacity to forgive and love again. Love is a wonderful thing and i believe i will find love again.

I think we all have the capacity to love again but each time we get more and more cautious. Let me share this one with you that I wrote shortly after my divorce. I call it My Solitude.

MY SOLITUDE

Here in my solitude I prepare to venture forth, donning yet another piece of jaded armor so that I may do battle in the arena of relationships as my need for love overcomes the fear of heartbreak that I feel will surely follow. I long for that which touches my heart, my soul but fear it just the same.

I asked myself is this sanity or insanity? And why do I defend against that which I seek?

Am I to become what I despise in others and how long can I continue this battle before it takes it’s ultimate toll on myself?

As in any type of insanity there are moments of clarity and vision and in one of those moments I came to the realization that only when I can learn to set aside sword, shield and armor and venture forth my heart naked and baring my soul to the world can I truly realize my true potential.

Fearful and cautiously I leave that which I know to be safe and step forth into the light of day not to do battle this time but once again to embrace what life has to offer in the knowledge that the pain of isolation can be far greater than the pain of loss.
