Homily Of Love

When you think of your past love,you may view it as
a failure. but when you find a new love, you view the
past as a teacher. in the game of love, it doesn't
really matter who won or who lost. what is important
is you know when to hold on & when to let go. you
knw you really love someone when you want him or her
to be happy, even if their happiness means that
you're not part of it.

Everything happens for the best. if the person you
love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love
someone else again, for you'll never know unless you
give it a try. you'll never love the person you love
unless you risk for love. love strives in hurting.
if you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.
love doesn't hurt you all the time. though hurting
is still there to test you, to help you grow.

Don't find love, let love find you. that's why it's
called falling in love because you don't force
yourself to fall. you just fall. you cannot finish
a book without closing it's chapters. if you want to
go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn
the pages.

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by
a single caress. it is a lifetime venture in which
we are always learning, discovering & growing. we
lose someone we love only when we are destined to
find someone else who can love us even more than we
can love ourselves. on falling out of love, take
sometime to heal & then get back on the horse. but
don't ever make the same mistake of riding the same
one that threw you the first time.

To love is to risk rejections, to live is to risk
dying, to hope is to risk failure. but risk must be
taken because the greatest hazard in life is risk
nothing. to reach for another is to risk involve-
ment, to expose your feelings is to expose true self.
TO LOVE IS TO RISK NOT TO BE LOVED IN RETURN.

How to define LOVE: fall but do not stumble, be
constant but not too persistent, share & never be
unfair, understand & not to demand, hurt but never
keep the pain.

Love is like a knife. it can stab the heart or it
carve wonderful images into the soul that always last
for a lifetime. love is supposed to be the most won-
derful feeling. it should inspire you & give you joy
& strength. but sometimes the things that give you
joy can also hurt you in the end. loving people means
giving them the freedom who they choose to be &
where they choose to be. for all the heartaches & the
tears, for gloomy days & fruitless years, you should
give thanks, for you know, that there were the things
that helped you grow.

Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find
his way, whether it leads towards you or away from you.
love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be
taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then
you'll experience the fullness of humanity & that is
love.

Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire &
tear you apart. only love can make you cry & only
love knows why.

When you decide to love, allow it to grow.
When you promise to love, refuse to let it die.
