The PARADOX © Love can be both kind and cruel, happy and sad, elation and madness. It can truly be the very best thing and the very worse thing that could happen to you. LOVE.......... The tender hand that strokes you with a softness like that of a gentle breeze. Carressing and carrying away the sweet aroma of a spring flower. LOVE.......... The rigid fist that can destroy you with a thunderous force like that of a hurricane, Stripping away and uprooting everything in its path, showing no mercy. AND YET........... To avoid love for fear of its destructive potential would, to us, be unthinkable. To forsake love in the interest of emotional sanctuary is far beyond our capabilities. SO WE........... Go on living and loving. Baring our souls to the threat unabated. Many of us loosing only to love again. We are undaunted by the pain for the fear of losing the pleasure. OUR SOULS........ A rudderless ship, tossed in an endless unpredictable sea of emotion. Helpless against the current, and content to be so. We are fully aware that the waves will indeed go on forever. The thunder and lightning will come and go, we will press on, Without a momentary thought of retreat. FOR WE KNOW........ More certainly each time, that the calm that follows is worth a thousand storms. Love is truly eternal, as is its.........PARADOX !
