An Ode to LOVE … ( 03 / 21 / 2009 )
Kahlil Gibran once said that to know real Love , we must let it completely shatter us , and I will admit that there is indeed a measure of Truth in those words ( in-deed ) ...
That having been said , there is another facet of the Quest for Love that is even more important to remember ; a facet that reflects the equally valid Truth that -- regardless of where we choose to lay the blame for our pains & disappointments -- it is ultimately we and we alone who actually shatter ourselves in all times of sadness ; that it is we and we alone who do so by casting our own Souls upon the jagged rocks of our own hopes and expectations ...
… and , most importantly of all , that it is Love and Love alone that can make us whole again .
Amen ... Let it be so .
