"in spite of what's said / you might understand love / is more than can fit in your head / you might understand love / is more than you can do in bed".. it's hard. I don't know if it's a generational thing or something that trancends time.. but people (around my age) really don't get that right there. I find myself so alone sometimes because people don't understand how I love them... so they pass me on by.. or I choose to stay away from them because they only believe love to be born in bed, but ...Love.Is.So.Much.More. ("more what?" they ask [sometimes with a smirk.. trying to catch a snag in my logic.. even though logic doesn't even factor in].. and I just shake my head and turn away, holding back the tears, because by that I know they don't get it and may never). I know you didn't mean it to (hurt me), but these words really hurt deep down (that is to say I feel your pain because so often it is mine).

that you have awareness is a two edged sword, if you can feel the passion of love in all it's forms without fear of it, then you can rise above the loneliness and distain of those around you (for it is borne of misunderstanding and unawareness, ignorance not maliciousness and although, at times, insecure with their ignorance people may lash out with violent words and harmful actions, when we can remember that the source of their action is their own fear, we can forgive them and therein rise above the pain they wish to share)... yes, it's hard, a challenge few actualize for themselves for it is much easier to conform and through habit and other means, diminish awareness, forget... when despair threatens to consume hope, we must reach within the the faith that reminds us that the awareness of the infinity of love is the strength that can steady us and the hope to go on, to believe that the possibility of being one with another and others who share the awareness is real in this life and beyond... when our physical limits offer little or no proof, or worse, when this physical world empowers fear to inspire defensive actions, we can only take deep breaths and let the positive energy, the love within us inspire our patiences, our smile and expression that reflects our inner intent to do no harm, to love above all else... and that the pain deep down was awakened by the words, let it also feel comforted that someone expressed it, that someone understands it, and feels it too, and therein find the hope that others do and there will be others to come along to share the understanding and awareness with you and in that sharing, find the touch of love by any name... may you feel hugged and reassured and comforted and loved by these words, for you are, and may they remind you that the love is out there and within you and the hope for sharing it in this life is why you are alive (well, at least that is why I am alive :)
