Embracing the Glow: Nurturing the Ember of Enduring Love
There are certain elements of life that seem natural. Love seems natural. It turns out, it isn’t.
It’s the facts that bother me.
Often, when we are young, we assume that love will turn up at some point in life. Then, everything will be just fine and dandy.
We are taught these facts; “you can’t force love”, “love has its way of revealing itself”, “cupid’s arrow falls in the strangest of places”, and so on. Mostly, we are taught, that we don’t have the slightest say in who we love, and how to love.
And as time passes, to live a life full of the type of love that sweeps us away, ensures happiness, and sustains us through all of life’s problems, never seems to work out by itself. It often goes pear-shaped — for some reason or another.
As far as we know, love teaches us firstly not to be so presumptuous about our ability to attract love. It won’t simply fall into our lap, and bathe us in happiness. We have some work to do.
Creativity and love can often walk hand in hand. Creative thinking, taking time to understand something through thought and action, can better lead to an outcome that melds the strangest of cupid’s arrows target together.
