What’s love got to do with it…

Probably one of the most misunderstood things on this planet, this feeling we call love!

Everybody wants it

We all think we know how to handle it

We crave it

We steal for it, lie for it, pay for it, and often die for it

But does anyone understand love fully?

I’d bet my considerably small fortune that most humans DON’T have a clue about the depths of love; it’s power, it’s strengths, it’s weaknesses! Not even close…

Love is a gift

Love is sometimes a curse

Often times, love hurts, too

Love makes the wisest of men act out of character, go against everything he knows to be true… for only one moment, one smile, one touch…

Love is free, and yet it costs us everything…

Love is the cost that many will save for, but an expense few are willing to fully pay.

Love is a gift that if not given away only poisons the heart, thereby destroying the one holding on to it. We all have an entire lifetime to practice the art of giving and receiving love, and yes I said receiving it, also.

Just as it is nearly impossible to understand it, grow it, and give it to others… love is even more difficult to receive from others. We struggle with motives, liars, deceivers, and worse yet, our own distrust of what love should be.

We are each born with love in our heart, and only one lifetime to grow it, use it, and receive it from one another. Let’s not waste any more time talking about it…

let’s eat cookies!

Treacherous waters…

Personally, I try to stay away from questions like these… and I’ll tell you why.

I don’t like the idea of making an assumption as to what most people might be thinking, feeling, or even understanding… how should I know what most people don’t understand?! I don’t know most people, in fact, I know very few people on such a personal level that I would feel remotely confident in answering for them.

Anytime that I assume what another thinks and feels, or worse yet, what kind of person they are without first getting to know them… well, it’s like flirting with disaster!

With that said, I’ll pass on this prompt, but not without leaving you some cookies…

I feel more confident in guessing that you’ll want one.

Me…

I almost used the song off that children’s show, Barney, where they repeatedly sing “the list goes on and on my friend.” I decided not to go down that musical rabbit hole, as I’ve work to do this morning. I chose, instead to offer up myself for this lovely prompt inquiry that rolled off the WordPress rolodex.

Before you start thinking this might be a negative, let me assure you that it’s not! It’s an impossibility for a soul to know everything about everybody!

Besides, I don’t want most people to understand me, rather, I would prefer just a few souls that really desire to know the real me… the one beneath the surface.

As there have only been 2 takers on this offer, for many years now, I am a patient person, in this regard. The ones who stand the test of time, weather the storms, and invest the effort, I will greet with open arms. The thing is, my arms are only so long, therefore, any interested parties have to actually draw near enough to participate!

One thing is for sure, I do know that most of the people at WordPress have no clue about how to offer a decent prompt question, nor do they understand the writers to whom they pose these ridiculous questions. Maybe they should assign someone from their corporate office to answer the questions each day, same as us! I bet the questions would change in a hot minute!

Here, eat some cookies, but don’t eat the one in the middle cause it’d be weird …
