Love usually starts with a trickle, a small wetting of the desires of the soul. If left unchecked and allowed to flow unhindered it will gather and become a pool. A pool that will and can overflow, and in turn cover everything in it's path, your friends and everyone that your life touches.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
-Erica Jong

-J. E. Buckrose

Never strive to be one with another person. You will want to. The heart can be very demanding. But don't do it. Love only succeeds when two people realize they can't be one, and learn to nurture the distance between them. Distance is what makes it possible to see another person for who they really are, whole, and naked against a clean blue sky. That is the beginning of real love.
-Kathleen O'Neal Gear & W. Michael Gear

Love does not consist only of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
