"It is impossible to love without giving away some power."
I suppose.
Loving involves taking risks.
It involves being vulnerable.
I think it also involves getting some power back in return.
In giving love, we open ourselves up to receive it.
And there is power in that, on both sides of the love spectrum.
This is a quote from something I got in email today (Thanks VB )
"It is said that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. So will love. As long as you find fault in yourself so will others and push you away. When you come to the realization that you are one of nature’s greatest miracles, so will others. Be loving. Do this by reminding others, awakening others, to the miracles that they themselves are. When two souls awaken in the same time, love is created. A common-union. A communion."
