Love

I was reading through the freshly written blog of a friend.. i came across these lines.. i am putting them here because they summarize the concept of love that i have in mind.. i feel that my writing is far too shallow compared to what these lines say, so i am not goin to write anything more than this...

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over after being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had that, we had roots that grew toward each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

--Captain Corelli's Mandolin


I hope everyone in this worlds finds themselves to be a part of the one tree... and let me conclude by saying that it let everyone realize that it doesnt matter who the other part is, the only thing that matters is the tree...
