Bearing Love with Longanimity


Love can be excruciating sometimes.

Just saying that little word can bring a lot of heartache and bruising. Once love is brought into the picture the flood gates open for all existing brands of suffering.

It’s interesting that such a simple word can bring such an onslaught of tribulation.

An evasive word but not spoken nearly enough. Perhaps if it were it would not be such an afflicting term.

Perhaps if we heard it spoken often with such sentiment that only true devotion and fervor are evoked we would never again feel the tumultuous strain of vulnerability and mauled emotions.

After all, this little word is easily not spoken but interminably felt and impossible to ignore.

We all need to encounter love more often.
