Love is the beauty of the soul


"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 when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Love is having roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from our branches we find that we are one tree and not two.

"Love is the beauty of the soul." --St. Augustine

That everlasting bliss that seems to connect and make us one, in a relationship as it unfolds and as the newness arrives, all of that passion and bliss, all of that not getting to be around each other enough and simply wanting to be around each other all of the time, to be with each other, to be within each other and touching each other none stop. When she is seen it’s like just wanting to take her at that moment, wanting to do all and everything to her and never wanting to stop. Wanting to just have her as one would a delectable meal which is there for the devouring. All of these feelings, they seem as if it’s the reason you breath, it’s the reason you do anything; so that you may have her forever and ever, it’s like a high that can’t truly be explained. But then as the clouds of your lust begin to subside something else occurs that you just may not have been expecting.

She is still who she is but something has changed, that touch, it’s something that I’ve had so many times already. It’s starting to feel like a meal that I simply am getting sick of because I eat it every damn day. Her voice, that sound which at one time was like a heavenly instrument is starting to sound like a song that I’ve heard on the radio one time too many. It still sounds nice but it just isn’t the same as it was when I first heard it. Her touch, her smell, her presence, these aren’t things that I lust for as I once did because I am accustom to them. It is feeling like a car that was once new but now is just a car; that new car smell has vanished along with that new feeling of it all. It’s simply just the same old thing that I am use to and I have seen every day. Is the lust gone and is it done? Am I ready to move on to something new so that I may gain that feeling back that I once had? That feeling that felt as if I could never get enough? Is this it or am I on the road to something that I in fact have never felt or witnessed before?

But now something new has been revealed. It’s like a new beauty has been released and with this, it is something more permanent then what I witnessed before bare nude for me to bask in; this new light with its warmth and comfort for me to bask in is the shine which emanates from her soul. This is something that is even more euphoric then the passion, more breathtaking then the beauty and more intimate then that new touch. This is what it is about, the beauty of the soul and once this buried treasure is discovered a newness that can never be run down is born and a new passion has manifests itself to my light and my life. The beauty of the soul is what it is about and until it’s discovered no matter how much passion there was I will never know what this thing call love with another truly is. Don’t give up or give in simply because it’s feeling and gets familiar, now is your time and now is your chance. Open up your eyes so that you may see that beauty of the soul and once it is discovered that temporary passion that you felt in the beginning will seem like a distant child’s play thing and you won’t ever want to go back. Live, love and allow the beauty of the soul to show you what you thought might have been something that is no more. The beauty of the soul is there and now it is time to gaze, look upon it and discover the real and true treasure of this thing called love within your love and within this shining light which you have discovered so that it may stay and strengthen that joyous part of your life.

Namaste
