The Thunderbolt of Love

When people meet, like in "The Godfather," under the influence of the thunderbolt, they become lost in some way, known only to those who also have been 'bolted' and no one else.

"It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?" Who knows? For some, the answer is yes. For others, the answer is no. Love is a splendid thing for some and horrific for others.

Women, generally speaking, love naturally. Men, on the other hand, must learn to love. Women know graceful movements angelically. Men claim their territory and all others beware. (lol)

But seriously speaking, or spiritually speaking, if anything is indeed spiritual, love entails two words: intimacy and action. Not words like, "I love you," which of course, is nice, but don't hold a candle to a bouquet of flowers, or one long stem rose with ferns, or two tickets to see his favorite band in concert, or tickets to see her favorite movie star in a movie premiering next month. Yes, love is definitely action, the constant action of giving and giving more. Why? Because the dividends are phenomenal. The smaller the better, like doing the dishes once in a while, or you doing what he usually does and vise-versa.

And now the gigantic word. If you want love, and if you want your love to grow and grow, intimacy, sharing, openness, and a nonjudgmental attitude are all important in developing a loving relationship. It's risky at times because you need to find the courage to say, "Hey, I'm sorry, I was wrong, forgive me." Do it, and you'll feel like a King or a Queen.

Do this and feel like more of a woman or man than you've ever felt before. You'll see. You'll become a better person, father, friend, employer, employee, citizen, lover, you name it and you'll be glad you did.
