The thing to know about love, is that it’s sometimes a lonely one way street with no lamp posts to guide the way.  How to light the way when no one is there to show the way?  Walking alone into the alone doesn’t need to be a lonely path even if the love seems so far away.  ‘One way love’ may be passing by what the heart yearns for. Lose the mind and, find the answer in the heart where love is always smiling in hiding.  Don’t make yourself crazy and, find out who you really are and, not who you have grown accustomed to think who you falsely are.

In the darkness of the nite of the soul, there are always stars guiding the way until the dawn of a new day and, a new way. Love always comes back around, so make it a total love that comes back around ‘cause ‘less than full love comes back too’! “The worst in Life is ‘attachment’ …it hurts when you lose it.  The best thing in life is ‘loneliness’, because it teaches you everything and, when you lose it, you get everything”.

Love from those who struggle to love themselves, is at best wonderful in the moment but like the falling snow that turns to cold rain.  One who has deep self love always is protected from ‘retractable’, momentary love.  Fear, as in fear of abandonment, lurks like a shadow with love that begins as a glowing star.  Night falls on insecure love sometimes with the slightest provocation.  Always let go totally and the love you feel will follow you through ‘love’s goodbye’.  People enter into our lives with lessons to give and, love to embellish the heart.  Love’s loss is the clearing of an opportunity for a fresh love to warm the heart but, only when the ‘no show’ love is but a pleasant memory and, not attached to.

‘No show love’ also happens to the person not showing up usually for the rest of their life, so have compassion for those that walk away into the night.  The night’s are ultimately cold and lonely as the stars fade ever so quickly leaving emptiness. Sending warm thoughts keep one’s heart also warm.  Why settle for half way love when once love is deep and genuine, it feeds the heart forever.

Whether spinning the ‘roulette wheel’ or walking on a ‘tread mill’, it’s all going round and round where it will stop nobody knows and, why care? It’s just a mystery for those living in fear. Is your life one ‘merry-go-round’ with occasional ‘roller coaster’ rides of ups and downs?  Is it the ‘same ole, same ole’ year in and year out, ‘til all it comes to is a ride on the merry-go-round as the years gather the feelings of needing the security that amounts to a boring non productive life?

Fear turns to denial, greed, slothfulness, self indulgence, apathy, insensitivity and, every negative possible round and round they go all ending with the explanation or root cause called ‘fear’. As time finds itself speeding up to an unknown ‘stop’, the roundabout carousel slows to a crawl where all the same life becomes more visible but, few get off their horse to share the wisdom that should come with age to the wanderers.  Those on the roller coaster of fear and exhilaration also go round and round, unable seemingly to break out of the circle that goes no where.

Rich, poor, gifted or dull, there are few who see life as a never ending opportunity to give to those who might want to jump out of the round box and see outside of the illusions.  Life is not just an amusement park for the ‘freeloaders’ passing through without discovering that life is an opportunity here and now to extract all the jewels within to illuminate the self as well as others who struggle in a ‘looping monotony’ of futility.

All your life is inside you, your dreams and loves that may or may not pass through into the physical.  Be open to receive that phenomenon as well as being open to giving to all of life the manifestation of the dreams both for yourself and for others. The love you seek must first be found within to find it’s match in the world of manifested dreams.  Breakout of the slumbers and see what you can give back to life while it’s still available in this dimension.  Life is not just a ‘slurpee ‘ to gobble up but, infinite carnival rides to both enjoy and to help others to enjoy as the rides aren’t just for one lonely soul in the carnival. Is it time to demount the wooden horse and, see the nectar of life beyond the fantasies?
