Musings of Love

Great love is like a heavenly moment, when one's heart will skip a beat. Love can come packaged in many boxes, some good and some not so good. Love through jealously, is not a good love for anyone. Love that holds on too tight, will send one flying off into the sunset. That four letter word "Love," it means many different things to everyone.

Hi Paula, You are so right. Every one's perception of love and of how to love is so varied. I liked your perspective on it.

I completely agree with your poetry. A dualism with bad and good sides is visible. However, when love drives our world, it is compelling and inspiring.

I agree with you Paula...love at its core is the same, but the way folks demonstrate it and the meaning of it are quite different. Lovely words...have a splendid evening, Sara

Very true, Paula. Love brings a different thought to the minds of people. Like-minded people probably think the same kind of thoughts when they hear the word love mentioned. I enjoyed your musings on love, my friend. Have a great day! Bill
