i have heard that one cannot TRY to love

one simply IS love

yeah, so if that is the case

then EVERYTHING you do is an expression of love

wow

how about that?

no choice

i'd like someone to prove me wrong

bring it

it could be fun

it could make me go blind

it could make me see again

it could make me do both

at once

that would be interesting

but that is what i believe

i like being wrong too

cuz it makes me feel right

does that make sense?

makes sense to me

even if i don't understand why

i wonder why it makes sense

even if i don't understand it

like it makes sense that we ARE love

even if i don't understand it completely

a part of me does

WHERE that part of me exists

i don't know

just know that it does

howdee

its a beautiful day

and i don't understand why


just is

iz

yeah!

no choice

kinda like no fear

or no doubt

no choice

we are

L
O
V
E

choice makes us alive.

choice is how we give consent
choice is how the banana gets opened.

life vs lifelessness

i'm sure it is

nice, but what use is navel gazing to an afghan girl getting her hands chopped off for daring to want to go to uni?

I have a totally different cosmology than you, la_veronique . . . and that's why I love this place--diversity!

Wanderera, how are you served by thinking such thoughts?
We become aware of what we ay attention to. Why do you choose to focus on that particular thought? You don't even know of its true, really as you did not witness this.

I've recently become hip to the idea of deliberately creating your own reality through thoughts, law of attraction, etc. It's a good way to go. There are so many negative messages out there. Turning off the tv and ignoring the news is a start. I remember a time when I was naturally like that. Now it takes effort and I often fail, but I do believe that there's hope for me to clear my mind of the rot.

I hadn't been on here for a while. I forgot about your very poetic sounding posts, La Veronique You should write the script for meditation CDs

what situation would give you no choice? we always have a choice, though sometimes I guess things just happen spontaneously too. Maybe our soul is guiding us as well.

<<what situation would give you no choice?>>

1) falling in love



2) feeling that one has no choice but to believe that one always have a choice

3) getting subsumed by a tsunami when you are on the coast of sumatra

I learned something new today..thanks for the word "Subsumed" la-veronique. I like it.

Love,
Prism

i like it too

it is a subsuming word

I'll use my own experience here:

My husband "tried" to love me but he couldn't make it happen. It was just not in him to love me. He is not a loving person by nature. Because he did not love me, it was easy for him to be mean and angry towards me. I, on the other hand, love without trying. It's my natural state of being. So, thankfully, I was able to love myself enough to leave him. In doing so, I saved myself and probably him too. Btw, I still love him.

love is a choice. we choose. we choose our reaction.
say your hand gets whacked off, we may not have a choice - like whether we live or die - that's luck, or divine will, or not so divine action on the part of another. if we bleed out, don't have the strength to heal ourselves, then there is no choice, but if we have the strength, then there's the choice to act, or to give up. say it's an accident, then what?

sure
