What is love?

Following on from a question on one of the facebook groups tonight … a question was asked .. “what is your idea of love?”

It is a very difficult question to answer as there are many types of love.   We are capable of loving people in very different ways, from the love we have for our family, the love for our friends or the love that can break our hearts.

Even a romantic love cannot be parceled up and put in a box.  I have had various lovers over the years that I have loved, but I have never loved the any of them in the same way.

I probably have a very boring view of love.  The passion and the drama are exciting at first but I soon tire of it and it is when this dies down that I begin to love, or not, as the case may be.

For me I need a love that gives me peace.  A love that is independent and true.   No drama, reliable, comfortable.    The sort of love where you can sit in silence doing nothing and being perfectly happy.   The sort of love when you think “we” instead of “I” and you feel comfortable in planning ahead.   

A partnership of peace and contentment.

Too boring for some I know.   But perfect for me.

 

The simple things …

I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Highlands of Scotland … Spean Bridge near Fort William.    It was beautiful, warm, peaceful and fun.      The pictures can speak for themselves…. Hover over the picture for a description.

She began to live again

She began to live again.

As her fingers skimmed the skin of her lover, touching, teasing.

The gentle touch of her lips on her lovers skin turning a key that had been long shut.

Her tongue trailing, outlining, tasting the woman beneath her.

The soft tremble of her lover, the quiet gasps and the quickening of her breath.

She felt it then, the awakening of her own skin, every touch, brush of skin on skin feeling electric.

Every part of her crying out to be touched as her fingers danced and moved on her lover.

Her soul awoke and her time would come once more.

A woman’s soul

How to understand depression

Leave a comment

I found this video doing the rounds on Facebook.

Last year I suffered from depression. To say it was a shock to the system is an understatement.

In a way it was probably one of the best things to happen to me… it made me stop, think and re-evaluate my life. Decide what is important, and what is not.

I have tried in previous posts to describe this time, but this video says it much better than I ever could!

Share the love

Over the past few weeks I have witnessed love being shared in the most amazing ways between some wonderful friends.

I attended the civil ceremony celebration of Gillian and Terri, the wedding of Jean and Wullie and this Thursday my great “bloke” mate Marina will have a civil ceremony with the lovely Lorraine.   

All of these are fantastic examples of love between two people and the happiness that they share with friends and family.

I am also very privileged to watch the story unfold of two wonderful friends who are nearing completion of adopting two children.  I will not name them for privacy reasons, but many of our shared friends will know who I mean.

The two friends in question are the most wonderful, open hearted, caring women you can ever hope to meet.   They are happy to dedicate their lives and sacrifice a lot for the love they have for others in need.   

I admire all my friends, I love so many people for their caring attitude, their honesty, their humour and their courage but these two friends have shown me that happiness is found by sharing and caring for others.

There are many people in life who are happy to take, to use, to see a benefit out of a friendship.  These people do not stay in your life.

The beautiful people do.

Thank you my beautiful friends.
