What is Love


Our favorite description of love is from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen...

Making a big deal about the "little things" can make your life richer and more fulfilling. We've all heard the phrase "Don't sweat the small stuff" and I wholeheartedly agree. We must not let life's little daily annoyances and irritations cause us to "lose our cool" or bring us to a place of ...


No woman is worthy to be a wife who on the day of her marriage is not absolutely and entirely lost in an atmosphere of love and perfect trust; the supreme sacredness of the relation is the only thing which, at the time, should possess her soul. Women should not "obey" men anymore than men ...


Questions have power. They can open our minds up to new possibilities and ways-of-being, they can alter the course of our thoughts and shape our behavior in positive ways... ...and questions can have the opposite effect, shutting us down with the force of a jackhammer. And some questions ...


Losing the one person you love to a break up, regardless of the reason, can cause you many sleepless nights. But regardless of why, break ups aren’t always meant to be forever.

The desire to love is not itself love. Love is as love does. ~ M. Scott Peck, M.D. Love is often characterized by the overwhelming feeling that is commonly associated with it. We have all experienced the giddy feeling of falling in love, a feeling that eventually fades and gets replaced by ...


For some men, women are the world's greatest mystery. You never know what they may be thinking at any given time. They say one thing and sometimes do another. They worry about things that we wouldn't stress out about. Lets just say, women can drive us nuts, but we love them. So what do you do if ...


What makes people fall in love? We find someone we are in love with, but two years later we wonder what we ever saw in them. No one can say this hasn’t happened to them, whether it was a high school crush or our first romance. Unrequited love is harsh. IT leaves us feeling rejected. Our feelings ...


You have been by my side since I can remember. You are my best friend and my life partner. You walk with me in troubled waters, you help me through such troubled times. You are my heart and my soul.

People speculate a lot with the word trust and they do it on purpose. I would like to make a few clarifications about it... Many times trust is mixed with faith. But to have faith is one thing and to trust someone is something completely different. Faith is pointing outwards, it is created ...


Love or Fear Think of love and fear as day and night. Now imagine the sun representing love and the night representing fear. It's a simple analogy, and one, that if you allow yourself to be open to its deepest truth, could induce a major shift in your consciousness. If Love is like the ...
