LEGACY OF A JOURNEY

How does one package love to one's liking? We search high and low for "that special some one" to spend a life with, grow old with and die a good death next to. It is a rare thing to be blessed with a mate like the Ravens have naturally, one for life. For the rest of us we find ourselves searching for the half that completes us but most of us carry this box we want the mate to fit into. Love however, does not seek compatibility it seeks a transparent heart with no expectations of its beloved. A great gift! And then we still have to give time to love to be built like any other path of life, but conditions hinder love always. We need to let go of our preconceived notions of how love aught to be if we are to experience and behold its gentle touch, else we shall find ourselves creating love affairs that will not last the distance of the rest of our lives(the divorce rates are self evident). And all the while the true love's face eludes us for our veil of conditionals. Then we usually settle for conditions in place of true love's passionate face! Falling in and out of love with many(some of whom we marry) but always with the bag of our stuff! Listen my children! A soul free from all conditional life style requirements and attachments is the one whose love endures;That must start from within to find its match without. Love seeks a home not a house, not a form but a kindred spirit. Love shows up in most undesirable forms some times which is really life's way of saying"Now what?" Will you surrender to love's touch or from fear of change send it away? Of the two roads before you always choose the one less traveled or be part of the flock who's leashes are geared in stuff!
