Love is Everything

Love is not something that you say, it is something that you do. 

LOVE is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible- 

it cannot be seen or measured ;

yet is powerful enough to 

TRANSFORM YOU IN A MOMENT, 

and offer you more joy than any material possession ever could. 

Barbara de Angelis PH. D 

There are too many different ways to define LOVE. But only few have a deep understanding of its real meaning. Some says… 

It’s a food,
for the rich and the poor.
The guiding star,
towards heavens’ tour.
Wings,
that makes all creatures fly.
A gift,
in store, you cannot buy…
A cure,
for the sickness
of mankind.
Bible says:
LOVE is patient and kind.
A solvent,
that weakens the Iron Man.
A celebrity,
Oh! I’m a die-hard fan!
A song,
that even bird’s could sing.
A link,
that connects all strings.
A book,
that a blind could read.
The word behind
the ‘DISCIPLE’S CREED’.
A bridge,
that leads to different lands.
A fire,
that warmth's a frozen hand.
A dove,
above those wedding bell’s-
It’s All the things,
that I could tell!

If I Had My Child to Raise Again

If I had my child to raise again,
I’d build self-esteem first,
I’d finger paint more,
And point the finger less.
I would do less correcting,
And more connecting.
I’d take my eyes off my watch,
And watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less
And care to know more.
I’d take more hikes
And fly more kites.
I’d stop playing serious,
And seriously play.
I would run through more fields
And gaze at more stars.
I’d do more hugging
And less tagging.
I’d see the Oak tree
In the acorn more often,
And affirm much more.
I’d model less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.

Why Am I Afraid to Love?

HUMAN PAINS IN A LOVELESS


All of us to some extent are enduring agonies of loneliness, frustration, emotional and spiritual starvation. Somehow these pains are radically due to failures in love. The essential sadness of such pain is that it magnetizes the focus of our attention; it preoccupies us with ourselves. And self-preoccupation is an absolute obstacle to a life of love.

I once asked a Psychiatrist friend of mine, “How can you teach people to love?” His answer was mildly surprising o say the least. He answered the question by asking one of his own:” Did you ever have a toothache?” Of whom were you thinking during the distress of your toothache?” His point was clear. When we are in pain, even if it’s only a passing discomfort of an aching tooth, we are thinking about ourselves.

The Psychiatrist continued,” This is a pain-filled world in which we are living. And the pains that reside deep in the human hearts around us are not like a toothache. We go with them at night and we wake up with them in the morning. Two-thirds of all the hospital beds in this country are now occupied by mental patients. One out of ten Americans has already been treated for mental illness. The pain inside of them became too deep and required professional attention.

“This is a pain-filled world, and so, a loveless world that we live in. Most human beings are so turned-in by their own pains that they cannot get enough of themselves to love to any great extent.”
