The Lightness of Being

a friend said to me today that she was feeling relieved, lighter, happier. 'the lightness of being' i said. absolute joy. the feeling that can sometimes just come out of nowhere. or many places. for no reason. or for many reasons. whatever the source, its a feeling that liberates you from 'heaviness' of the heart and soul. this week has been a week of lightness for me. and when i'm feeling like that.....i don't want to dissect it....i just hope that the 'bull run', as some would say, continues!

Feast of Love

it was a surprisingly nice movie. and it had morgan freeman, whom i absolutely adore. it's a sweet tale of love....in many lives.....and how love can bring you great joy and also, unfortunately, equally great sorrow. it's about grabbing life....and chosing to live it for love....even if you know the person you love may not last for ever, but the love will.

it's about loosing love...and finding it again, with a different person. and it's also about letting your love flow......and not letting it drown in the abyss of loss.

it's about setting people you love free. my favourite line from the movie is 'when you love someone, you don't grudge them their love.' what a wonderful thought!

it's a hard act to follow perhaps....but something i certainly aspire for.
