Dear everybody,
How have you been? At this moment I am thinking about love. Most people will have some form of love in their lives, perhaps parental love, brotherly/sisterly love, and so on. However, the love I am thinking of is one that is not "by default", but the kind that is...the one that has always been there, yet we may search for it all our lives.
I got reminded of it by seeing Prince of Persia and just now, Latter Days. It is the sort of love that makes you feel like it always was meant to be this way, and that the separation of time and space was merely a way to rediscover it again. Although the mind and spirit of the person is really the deciding factor, perhaps the physical side of things is like a cue.
Maybe in this world we go after people that we hope are our, reasonably enough, soulmates. Who we knew were out there, so we decided to try building relationships yet perhaps felt there was something lacking. I have thought that if I were to be in a long-term relationship, I would simply not settle for someone who was "good enough", but that person who I would feel that electricity with simply by a handshake or first sight. It would be as if "infinibytes" would be exchanged...because, well, everything was leading to this reunion.
We tend to dwell on past traumas, past triumphs, etc., maybe because that ultimate connection is just out of our reach. It would be like reading about a certain country you'd like to visit, but once you put that book down or minimize the webpage, well, it would no longer exist...you'd be back in your own world. So you would enjoy what was provided...hopefully a good family (or at least some decent family members), friends, acquaintances, good health, and hopefully much more.
Where is that True, Eternal Love? Where is that individual that, when you are in the presence of, it is like everything is concentrated into that moment of love? Where is that person, who would bring the best out of you, the One who would "allow" you to be more compassionate, loving, hopeful, and all that good stuff?
I can only hope everyone this love. I feel as though I have this feeling, though there is no one physically there. I have dreamt of such a person, though maybe the future has in store that person...in person. (No pun intended.) I think it is good to hope, because there is so much to experience.
It could be that this love is like a reminder of an understanding we are all connected to...as if it cracks open the door to the Limitless. Maybe that is a good thought. Eternal love is like re-establishing a connection with Eternity itself. Sometimes, we simply need the right individual to open the door to...that which cannot be accurately described in words.
May everyone reconnect,
John
