I’m constantly looking for sources of inspiration since my divorce. Most of my thoughts and ideas come as a direct result of communication with others throughout the day…or random thoughts as I just let my mind flow. I had been thinking recently that we all seemed to fall in love at some point. I mean, we fell in love with our spouse right…or maybe we did not know what love was in retrospect. How did we fall out of love? What is love? I’m not answering those questions today, just looking at love. We have a love holiday just around the corner, so what better a time to look at love in detail and hear from others about LOVE!

I remember very clearly the moment I fell in love for the first time. I was in gym class, probably in about the 7th or 8th grade. I saw her walk into the gym were we were doing those worthless fitness tests, remember those? I hated them! Though my quest for the top percentile of pull ups in the entire school, i remember her walking in, she was in a black tee shirt and the old school Adidas sweats with the 3 white strips. She had long black hair and i could see her blue eyes from across the gym floor. I was taken by her, could not think of anything but her. Of course I don’t think I ever did talk to her, I was so shy back in the day. But to this day I still remember that picture in my minds eye. I WAS IN LOVE.

Is that what love is? Loving a person?

Another love story I have is recent. I have found peace within myself. My insecurities are long gone. I seem to be gaining complete control over the direction of my life. And in this new feeling I have, I have an overwhelming emotion for what I call G-D. I look around my surroundings and I am so grateful for what I have and for my family and friends…i get a sensation that I cannot explain, it shivers up and down my spine sometimes. I think that this may be LOVE?

So in the end, love must be many things. Many things to many people. All of which is neither right or wrong, it just IS. I think that love changes from minute to minute throughout ones life. What you think love is one minute, may be subordinate to what it means when you reach the next level of your life…love expands like the universe!
