mullin' a bit....

thinking about love this morning....

thinking about receiving it, giving it
and being it.....

this part is on my mind this morning...

the wanting to see who the loved one is.
the wanting to know who they really are,
not trying to make them who you want them
to be. and the constant looking at that.

i think both the wanting them to be something
else AND the assuming you know who they are
so you stop looking....
those two things are killers.
well....they aren't love, are they?

and then.......wanting them to grow into more
of who they are....wanting to help them become.
that's love.

again...not who we want them to be, and not
who we assume they'll be.
again, killers......and again, not love.

this applies to partners, kids, friends, parents,
ourselves.

who do i do that with and who don't i do that with?

ah, what an interesting question.

and why?

read somewhere that it all boils down to either
fear or love. those two things.

so if i'm not livin' love with certain people,
am i livin' fear?

and what is it i'm afraid of?
