Love and Life
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
–Albert Einstein
I have not written in a while…ok, a long while. It is not that I became lazy, it is that I fell into some sort of vortex that completely consumed me. It was high energy involving work and life itself. In fact, right now, I am not sure that I could claim to even be the same person that I was just last summer. What happened?
Life happened. I ran into unmovable objects. They changed me. That is what sometimes happen when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object. The twists in the road have floored me. This year is so incredible. So different than any other that I have experienced. As if we are given only so much time to figure out what we need to do to change.
This year has many of us all stumped. The people I know have many difficulties that extend to work and most intimate personal life. Every door closes, every path winds.
That doesn’t stop me, no, not even close. I just keep going like the Ever Ready bunny. Running into walls. Running into people headlong. Never skipping a beat. Every part of life affected. Faint from stress.
So, love strikes me right in the middle of this cycle. Not just some small attraction or affection. No, not me. This is killer, exotic, unbelievable love. Impossible not to notice. And not simple. Complex. Complicated. And painful.
When love strikes it is not intentional. It just happens. Like a giant wake up call. Impossible not to notice. Suddenly, here is this other person in real life, but bigger than life. Not reasonable. Not reasonable at all.
Why is love so painful? It can be painful at the beginning, middle and end of a relationship. Who knew, not me. I thought I had more wisdom at this age. But, no. I know nothing of love. And never did. Never have. Maybe never will.
Sex without love is meaningless. But love without sex is even more strange. Since, perhaps moderation is somewhere in between these two extremes.
So, here is my strange post, right in between all of these uplifting messages I like to write.
