Love sets free. I really do believe that loves deepest power is setting free. Love is eternally expanding. Cannot be any other way. When love hits you and starts growing in your heart, pushing you to your limits, it may feel as if your heart will burst. May even feel as if your torn apart, split open, like a flower blossoming. It might hurt, a little, even a lot, as love tryes to make your heart more spacious.
But sometimes, love turns around, and becomes infatuation. A twisted posessive addiction. When you wont let go, clingy, needy. Deciding that it is the other person who are the key to your happiness. Not love itself. Suddenly we are possesed wanting to lock up the cage, box in. Exercising the direct opposite. And in the process, love cannot flow at all. Fear steps in, closing all doors, narrowing the heart down to a withering dusty stone. Not being able to feel the flow of love, some want to torture whatever reminds them of their pain.
That is the scary side ... and prolly why I, untill now, ran away all my life.

Comments from My Space:
Love your posts, Kean. I think love is something that we have to work at, to manage. Sure, we can't control when it happens or how, but when we're swept up in it, riding its almighty current, we need to keep an eye open, because even though we can't stop or start the flow of love, we can steer it. We can keep it on a good course with just light touches.
We know how we want it to be - light, free, uninhibited, smiling. And we have it in your power to keep it that way. We can recognise dark thoughts in ourselves when the power of love drives obsession and clinging, we can watch them arise, try to understand them, but we can let them go like thunder clouds clearing in a blue sky. It's not always easy, but with practice, it's easier. Our natural state is one of lightness and freedom.
Many of us have run from love, having seen the bad side of it in others and in ourselves. But, eventually, it's always better to face it and master it, even if sometimes it hurts, as we learn little by running.

you are so right - about both sides. oh, the opening part, aching, yes, but so :)))))))))))))))) sometimes both parts come one after the other :(((((((((
