I was reading at a bulletin board this morning and found an exerpt from this article: they’re_singing_your_song by alan cohen. it was not only touching but enlightening.
A friend is someone who knows your song and sings it to you when you have forgotten it. Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.
…Alan Cohen
I don’t wish to continue grieving over people who are not capable of love. love is action, not affection. affection is part of love, but not the most important part. that quote, that exemplifies the most important part. why waste too much time on grief when I have so much real love in my life? I’m exploring that dynamic… as to why I do that. I have some really stout theories and I’m going to use them to implement a more healthy way of relating. WOOO!

Awesome love.

Well put.
I think we’re thinking alike at the moment. And you have put it very well. Love.
Grief is sticky, I think. It’s easy to get stuck in it, and some folks just aren’t worth it…
amen, amen.
love is all you need
love is all you need
good find. it’s nice to be reminded. it’s like a personal string tied to your finger.

Happy D-day! (Divorce day!) Is that an inappropriate thing to say?
maravilloso!

If I could figure out how to send one of those hearts I would but since I can’t I will just say that I hope that your new plan brings you nothing but happiness and contentment….
Damn, I can do the smiley but not the heart…
Well then….

Cool. Just do it!
I love you!
YAY!
I somehow missed a few days in the midst of my own drama….
This post really, really spoke to me. I’m going to remember it.
