Thinking about love
I watched Broke Back Mountain for the second time yesterday
and cried my eyes out. Such a beautiful and tragic love story. It got me thinking about the real love stories
that are still happening today and how sad it is that there are some people who
risk losing family and friends…just to love. It makes no sense to me. Any time
we can love and care for another is precious, it should be respected and held
up as example, not disregarded and trampled.
I know we have come a long
way, but we have long road still ahead. I will always be on the side of love, in
all of its forms.
LOVE:
Does it have boundaries? Does it not exist where society
says it shouldn’t? Is it not love when a man feels he is finally at home wrapped in another mans arms? Or when a woman’s tender touch makes her girlfriend tremble? When
someone chooses to love many, or just one, is it our place to say nay? Does love
see color or creed? Should someone’s fear and ignorance have the power to keep lovers
souls apart? Does it even have that power?
I think not. I think
love is boundless, it goes on for eternity, emanating from us in waves.
It is not exclusionary, or explainable, it doesn't answer to fear and ignorance.
When it is stifled or ignored it will only leave a deep and lonely emptiness.
Love is embracing, accepting, eternal, going on far beyond
our individual selves. I choose to promote love, in all of its miraculous forms.
To see love, happiness, joy, and fulfillment, that is one of life’s truest
gifts. I say yes to love!
