The story of Love......

Love is such an abstract thing right? Difficult to describe or pinpoint, or hold in our hands.....but when you feel it, it cannot be denied......that is for sure......and I have thought quite a bit about love.....along my journey.....wondering about it....how and why it arrives...and where it goes when it is gone.....because I guess as I type this.....I love when that happens;-) When I can hear myself fully :) I am guessing it doesn't die.......it is energy......so it is subject to the rules of energy.....having to be alchemized in some way to live on......somewhere?? Interesting to think of.....at least for me lol:) But today is about the story of love...and maybe love is a story....the one we tell ourselves about the person we love.....filtered through our own perception......our own love.....and maybe much of it is not real or true......whatever real means right lol:) When I loved my ex, I loved him fiercely and believed in him from the deepest parts of me.....but in the end, he wasn't who I believed him to be....and so what is that? Does it happen for everybody.....do we tell ourselves the "story" of somebody, and the way we love them....or more importantly "see" them......all of that deriving from the story......not reality at all......Although I have seen love show up in the way that it is perceived.....but I do believe that part of love is manufactured, and a result of our own love, the love we share with the person.....and we give more credit than is due.....and when the illusion is shattered some....a hole in it, you can peek behind it.....you can be surprised about what is found.....I have expressed often that amid my unlucky parts of love I have experienced, I have been really lucky.....I may not have found my one person to love till little old lady status.....which was my goal.....but I have been lucky in finding love, and continue to be.....and always will......and so I never worry about not having love in my life....it tends to find me;-) but.......I do wonder more deeply about the manufacturing of it....and how it is created.....and what makes it stay.......what makes it grow........what makes it exist between two people.....and sometimes I wish somebody could see the way you love them.......not really being privy to your perception of them fully.....but if they could get inside of you, and see and feel the love you hold for them......I think it would be game changing.....so my take is that love is real.....but also a story......a beautiful story that is created in our hearts and minds for another human.......and for sure one of the greatest gifts we can have in this life.......Happy Monday:)
