What might I say to my children about love? Don't fall in love with a dreamer? Love is exciting and sacred? Love is kind and sweet? Perhaps might simply say, "When at first you don't succeed, try try try again." What about when she is infactuated? What might say to my little girl about the affections that she understands as love? Might scold her and keep her chained within 3metres from the house? or might say, "Let your heart and your mind be in sync"? I wonder about how might help her through her heartbreak, whether I'll be stern like my own grown folk or whether I'll make the girl some lemon tea and rub her back.
My experience is that no matter how proactive a girl is, there is nver reason for her to hunt love down. it occured to me that sometimes in our pursuit for love and or famously happiness we are hostile and "take no prisoners" forgetting that in love hostility is like a bug in gardens. Someone told me once that love cannot be captured and cannot be locked down and eventhough we work at relationships love is not manufactured and therefore cannot be purchased...
What's my experience of bliss though? I belive this is the kind of feeling where you know how a walk in the puff of cloud might feel, how kissing raindrops might be and perhaps most importantly when nothing else matters but the smile that reflects your own in the person sitting opposite you or beside you.
What about you and me? Do we know bliss the peaceful happiness that people wear like a thin sheet of glass? Or are we still arrogant enough to compare this rare feeling with relationships in general?
