Beneath The Moon

Yesterday I spoke to a very important person in my life after quite a hiatus. Sometimes in life we don’t even realize the kind of effect certain individuals leave on us. Every one has some one in their life, just the mention of whose name would lift you up to a different plane altogether. I am not mature enough to interpret what exactly is love? Is it a feeling wherein you can do anything for that other person just to make sure that he/she is good and happy! Is it a feeling wherein whenever you get #$@% up in life, you know that all that you need to do is be with that person and he/she with fill up all your empty reservoirs and you don’t feel that sick about urself anymore! Is it a feeling when you look forward to spending more and more time and you want every fraction of that second that you are together to be absolutely special? Imagine a life, which is filled up of all these special seconds and each second is so true, so special, and so much yours. My take on love may be taken as schmaltz, too maudlin, too ethereal and stuff movies are made of. But I disagree. Just because you are afraid of deep waters, gives you no right to proclaim that swimming in deep unchartered waters is not exhilarating. Too many times in our life we give in to mediocrity and programme our self to operate in a way which is very mediocre, because you can't falter when you are a mediocre. Only people who have goofed up in life were the ones who were not mediocre. They wanted to see what was there on the other side. Coming back to the theme of today’s blog, I think that just because not too many people have actually derived the true powers of love, true love is dying a slow death. Love for me is like a radioactive uranium fuel. It can give you so much positive energy that you can't even fathom. True love can transform you, in and out, towards being a better person. At the same time, if you play around with this uranium it can explode in your face like an atom bomb and leave you in shreds. A few quotes: "You don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person who you cannot live without." -Unknown "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous." -Ingrid Bergman "True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen." -La Rochefoucauld "Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition." -Alexander Smith "Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." -Mother Theresa Keep love alive amigos! Bye for now
