REMINISCING LOVE

Memories of love never pass. They linger, guide & influence long after source of stimulation has faded. Every person who has been moved by a true love knows that it leaves enduring traces upon the human heart. The effect of love endures because love is spiritual in nature.

Go back into your yesterday & bathe into the memories of the past love. It will soften the influences of present worries & annoyance. It will give you the source of escape from the unpleasant realities of life. This might lead your mind to yield the world of fantasies, ideas or plans which may chance the entire status of life.

In the words of St. Augustine, “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. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when the entire pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”

If you believe yourself unfortunate because you have loved & lost, perish the thought. One who loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical & temperamental in nature. Starvation for love never ceases by receiving love. It ceases only by giving love. Love all & love all the time…
