nice thoughts - indeed true
Hi, Good morning.........
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.

Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming

pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water

and held it before me, and said this: "You see this

water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes

Love."

This was how I saw it: "As long as you keep your hand caringly open

and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.

However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it

and try to posses it, it will spill through the first

cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they

meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and

just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from

you.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its

nature.

If there are people you love, allow them to be free

beings.

Give and don't expect.

Advise, but don't order.

Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may

take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to

true love.

To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no

expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional

caring."

Passing thought...

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;

but by the moments that take our breath away .
