(This in the continuation of the "What is Love?" post series)
Love cannot sit still, but must continuously grow. Like two vines intertwined, Love needs to constantly be reaching new heights and take risks. Yes, I said take risks. Contentment is absolutely the most destructive thing for Love’s growth. It makes us lazy, and starts to impose expectations upon us that the other person will tend to our needs and desires. Love takes constant cooperation and agitation in order to grow and flourish.
The worst thing that you can do to Love is to be content and get into a routine. It is a fallacy to EXPECT love to be there because it was there yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that. Yes, love is enduring, but it demands action to keep it growing. A Love that does not grow, will shortly whither away into a memory. Love forces us into unknown and uncharted places and forever keeps us asking what can I do to make this thing better? How can I love differently, or more uniquely, or more deeply, or more fully? The love you had yesterday is still good for today, but today’s love is demanding something more. And when you become a master of Love, you are ready to give it. You are excited to see what new thing Love has brought you, how what you thought was impossible is now possible, how a place you thought you could never get to you are now standing it. Love takes you to places unimagined! Love is a time machine, both forwards and backwards. It makes you a child and at the same time wise; a fool and a scholar. Love brings together things that should not be together. When two people who are masters of Love are IN LOVE, the world DISAPPEARS! Yes, they ARE the only two people in the whole world and everyone else is envious of them.
May the world be envious of you,
Joan

Where do you get this stuff? Who ever is getting you love is one lucky dog! This is just so very beautiful, and I want the world to be envious of me one day! Thanks for keeping hope alive.

I agree with your assessment on love! Yes, it is all about the power of love! Yes, something that does not grow will eventually die, and if you do not put the energy into it, how can you expect to get anything out of it? I really do like all of your posts! You are such a genius or a Master of Love! Where did you learn this? Does it come from your psychic abilities or what? Thanks for sharing.

Joan what a genius you are! You write such beautiful and heartfelt thinks about Love. It is a wonder how few people understand the workings and majesty of Love as you. I hope you will continue to impart your wisdom and grace with more posts?
Your insights to all things involving love is astounding! You have really captured the essence of what is love in your posts, now if you can only teach people how to love this way, the world would be a better place.
Wow, this is so beautiful! I love the way you create the imagery of vines and growth and support of each other. Yes, love must grow or it will die! You really have a great insight and grasp to what it takes to love and be in love. It is so wonderful that you can artfully put your thoughts and feelings down.
Generally I do not reply or leave comments on blogs, but you have hit on something here that could really help people. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this blog, and I have to agree with most of what you have to say. Really insightful and helpful. I wish there was a how-to guide for guys on this subject of love???
While I usually do not subscribe to the occult or psychic arts, I do find that your posts lend themselves to something greater than just the waiving of a magic wand when it comes to love. I see that you have combined the sublime with the reality of what it takes to truly and completely commit yourself to a cause greater than your own needs. Your insights compel me to ask if more will be coming and if some form of tome is in the works?
