LOVE

Have you ever been in love? Have you noticed how easy it is for this strange thing called love to take over our hearts and minds, shatter our concept of the person we are, and to bring forth an entirely new entity that we do not recognize as ourselves? We let it turn our well-ordered life topsy-turvy, buffeted by the whims of another, oblivious to rhyme or reason, all in the name of love. The one goal that is of utmost importance is to submerge one's self into the swirling vortex of feelings that now controls one's actions. Reasoning is at the lowest ebb, the objective is to please, no matter how irrational. Concentration is at a low, direction becomes a thing of the past. Where once the mind is clear and precise, the wise man has now been made a fool. Where once there was independence, now, to become one with the object of affection is the one consuming desire.

Love, do you really make the world go round, or are you just leading us around? You seem to have created chaos out of the order in our lives. And yet, without you, life will become a void. You have added color and dimension to our world. The once orderly and predictable existence we call life has become more exhilarating, more challenging. You are an enigma, but one we can’t do without.
