pain and healing both caused by love.


Love's Duality


Love hurts.
It pierces.
It cuts.
It divides.

Love heals.
It covers.
It mends.
It completes.

Love is like no other.
It
Intensifies,
Magnifies,
Crucifies!

Love lifts to high places.
It plunges itself into the deepest depths of desolation

It purifies, multiplies, mystifies

Love separates, integrates, penetrates.

Love hurts.
Love heals.

It can be dubious, duplicitous, and rapturous.

It belongs, yet it is without ownership.
It is given away,
It is demanded.
It is free,
But comes at a high price.

Love hurts and love heals.

Love is an ambivalent journey.
Travel at your own risk!

I liked this. I liked this very much. Love does have its own "stuff" doesn't it, but OH Stuff is Good. :o) ~Pam
