PHRASE TO MEDITATE ON -

Hello, my beautiful

Yes, love is about discovering yourself through the other; we never know ourselves well enough. For the person facing you, confronted with these feelings, they worry about the other and, as you say, come to us to give us news of ourselves, and to know how to meet the other’s expectations—that is the magic of love.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love, how I love you… You are my universe, my strength
Marylena

The verb "to love" is one of the most difficult to conjugate: its past is not simple, its present is only indicative, and its future is always conditional.

Hello Lolly,

Love is sharing with the one who fills our heart…
Love must be shared with someone you trust, respect, and who accepts you as you are…
Love is about understanding the other person, even in the silences…
Love is not a chain; it is letting the other person live, respecting their choices and ideas…
Love encompasses the words “I love you, you are unique, you are important.”

Rascal, Magic!
I recognize that sentence; it’s not yours!
Lol

This quote is apt, regardless of its source

To love is conjugated only in the present tense; it must begin with “I am,” because it implies the verb “to be.”

I am Aimant
I am Love

To love without the "I am" is unlikely, for it would be mere speculation.

I love through I am. To be understood in the spiritual sense.

I am timeless
Since BEING is timeless
J'Aime is timeless
For Love is timeless

Our conjugations are merely points of view from the eternal present.

Thank you LEMAGICIEN! The present is MAGICAL, it has more than one trick up its sleeve

Hello Mamyo!

Yes, Mamyo, you're right, that phrase isn't mine, but I no longer remember who the author is, otherwise I would have credited them.
It is simply a phrase I learned by heart a long time ago, and which came to mind on this occasion.

I really like the word "coquin."
Kisses to you

Hello La_Papesse,

Thank you for these clarifications.

Happy Sunday
My regards

                   Coucou,

The closest hearts are not those that touch.

The magician.

There, dear magic, we are entirely in agreement.

Love is meeting someone who gives you news about yourself.

Yes, our “lover” often reveals to us aspects of ourselves that we do not want to admit.

The closest hearts are not those that touch.

And yes, the heart that beats the strongest for us is not necessarily the one next to us, or perhaps we just don't know...

to contradict you if you deem it necessary…

Good evening La_Papesse,

The closest hearts are not necessarily the ones that touch; by this, I mean that there are people who love each other in silence, without necessarily having met (I’m talking about the virtual world) or needing to shout it from the rooftops.
Another example: there are people who split up yet continue to love each other.
One can live together without their hearts touching, hence the phrase “The closest hearts are not necessarily the ones that touch,” which also means that the proximity of two beings should not necessarily signify mutual love.

Best regards
The magician.

Good evening, Lemagicien

And yes, I had heard it that way too.

However, who can we be?

How many misunderstandings come to confirm this!

When it comes to our loved ones, those we love with all our hearts and who hate us as much as they can, what can we do?
An example that concerns me: my daughter hates me just as much as I love her! And all I have done for 19 years is provide her with support, love, and tenderness.

And when we love the one we are leaving because it is pointless to continue living together, since we can no longer find each other, since the connection is no longer there. Who can we be?
For example, my husband, whom I am divorcing, does not understand that I wish him nothing but happiness and that I am in no way his enemy.

As for the virtual, it is very different.
When we communicate via the internet, it is our hearts that open up; the contact is direct, bypassing the filter of appearance.
Being close to one's partner, to one's family... entails a multitude of unspoken things and an equal inability to understand the other's unexpressed feelings.
Only communication can readjust the relationship, but the closer we are, the less we say to each other, and the more we let ourselves be trapped by misunderstanding and distance. Because we forget to get to the point!
And in such a relationship, if only one person invests in it, it automatically becomes sterile. No matter how hard we try to steer things in the right direction, we are heading straight for a wall. We can only bring what we are, so if the other refuses to bring who they are, we end up alone together.

When the connection exists, even if the other person is at the far end of the world, we are in their presence because we are on their frequency.
You must understand that time is a perception just as much as distance… If you tune in to a radio frequency, you will hear what is being broadcast without actually being inside the transmitter’s premises.
Likewise, you can be just a few centimeters from your partner yet thousands of kilometers away from her concerns, because you are connected elsewhere.

Getting to the essence is going with the heart; it requires vigilant and conscious attention.
There's no need to shout "I Love You!" from the rooftops; if the person is on the same wavelength, their heart will start to sing.

:-* Peace and Love in our hearts :-*

Hello Catherine,

Thank you for this beautiful analysis, which is imbued with logic and lived experience.

Hello La_ Papesse,

Communication with our loved ones is difficult because habit has set in; we believe that everything is taken for granted, and in my opinion, that is the main cause of all conflicts related to affection and sentimentality.
We no longer move toward this essential element, which is knowing what the other desires, because there is no longer any complicit relational investment with the other.
It is true that love must be able to be sung in unison and at the same frequency.

Nice to meet you
The magician.

Indeed, TheMagician believes that everything is already achieved, and that is the source of the misunderstanding.

If one places a magnificent log in the fireplace and then lounges at its feet, one cannot expect the log to keep us warm forever.

To keep the fire burning in the hearth, it must be tended, watched over, and constantly fed so that it does not go out.

Love is like that; one cannot be content with simply saying, “I possess him, he belongs to me for life.”

Like fire, it does not stay in the hand, for the hand cannot grasp it.

Yet if she wants to keep it, she must work at it.

Happiness is in the palm of our hands!

Like the most beautiful of roses, he is destined to wither!
But let's tend to the rose bush and it will bloom for years!

For example, my husband, from whom I am divorcing, does not understand that I wish him nothing but happiness and that I am in no way his enemy.

Yes, the High Priestess, when you’ve loved someone, you wish them nothing but happiness.

I’ve had this question on my mind for quite a while now: can one refuse happiness? Can one refuse love? And if so, why? Is it the fear of deserving happiness, or the fear of losing a certain freedom?

I don't think so, Claudia.
I wish happiness even to my worst enemy.
Why, because I am not jealous of others' happiness, quite the opposite.
As for my husband, it is the fear of material loss and his own weakness that condition him in this way.

What a thought-provoking question, Claudia!

We reject happiness when we cling to the fear of losing, the fear of not having, the fear of not succeeding.

IN ONE WORD: When you want to CONTROL!

Happiness is simply welcoming the present as it is.
And do not speculate about the future.
Why always want to cling to things?
The present is an eternal gift; one must know how to welcome it without holding onto it, for it is fluid.
Life is a flow; you either swim with the current or against it.
It goes without saying that if you swim against the current, you exhaust yourself, you struggle because you are fighting. We should tell ourselves that when we struggle, something is wrong. Look into why we refuse to move forward.
Nothing is immutable; all is impermanence.
The man clings to what he believes he possesses, instead of being happy, and when he loses what he thought he had, he panics and thinks his life is ruined.

Whether we agree or not, life goes on; it is up to us to decide what is preferable: to exhaust ourselves or to let ourselves be carried along.

Hello la_papesse,

The phrase “Nothing is immutable, everything is impermanence” reminds me of a quote cited by our friend Mamyol.

Kisses,
ClaudiaC
