"Pot on Love"

You know you’re truly in love when you have an overwhelming acceptance for someone. Your grace is magnanimous. You experience a great desire to give your partner everything. These experiences do not breed ill-will or self-victimization. You will not experience martyrdom. Your forgiveness is irrational and simple.

Love is about falling in and out of love in a continuum. We fall in love with someone continuously because we are constantly discovering something new about that person. To constantly fall in love with someone, we also (unfortunately) constantly find ourselves in processes of temporarily falling out of love with them. It is through is dynamic process of falling in and out of love with someone do we find the real rhythm of our emotional capacity. When we lose our capacity to fall back in love with that person, that’s when we know it’s time to move on. We no longer feel the need to rediscover that person any more.  ¶ 6/28/2005 08:49:00 AM
