What is love by mary Beth Bonacci


I came across this piece and i thought i should  share it.... it's about Love..... What is love?


"People use the word 'love' a lot of different ways. Take me, for instance. I am often heard saying that I love my mom and dad. I am also often heard saying that I love pizza. What am I saying when I say I love my mom and dad? I'm saying that I care about them. I'm saying that I love spending time with them and that I talk to them every chance I get. I'm saying that if they needed me, I would do every humanly possible to help them. I'm saying that I always want what's best for them. What am I saying when I say I love pizza? Am I saying that I care deeply about pizza? Am I saying that I have a relationship with pizza? Am I saying that if pizza had a problem, I would be there for the pizza? (What? Not enough pepperoni? I'll be right there!) Of course not. When I say I love pizza, I'm just saying that I enjoy eating pizza until I don't want any more pizza. Once I'm tired of the pizza, I don't care what happens to the rest of it. I'll throw it away. I'll feed it to the dog. I'll stick it in the back of the refrigerator until it gets all green and moldy. It doesn't matter to me anymore. These are two very different definition of the word 'love'. It gets confusing when people start talking about love, and especially about loving you. Which way do these people love you? Do they want what is best for you, or do they just want you around because it is good for them, and they don't really care what happens to you? Next time someone looks deeply into your eyes and says 'I love you', look very deeply right back and say, 'Would that be pizza love, or the real thing?"

New Year/Emptiness

Have not posted anything this year!!!!!
That's not good, this year i promise to be very active here.
A lot happened last year, and this year it a fresh start! :-)
Am going to leave you with a small piece am working on.....
look out for this space....
here is my piece called EMPTINESS
Hope i wont change the title! :-)


EMPTINESS
The vast emptiness of space, thinking everything is at ace
It’s like a broken vase, or like an enzyme that is amylase
The quality of having no value or purpose,
The quality of seeing everything being meaningless
The quality! The quality! The quality!
Of being empty the state of containing nothing

Setting ourselves free!

First, we have to face the notion that in order to consider forgiving someone we must have been blaming them for something. We must have anger, resentment, blame, even hatred going on in order to feel the need to forgive. Forgiveness is really an act of letting go, releasing the anger, the hatred, the bitterness, the thoughts of revenge that we have been carrying around. We can do this letting go without even encountering the person we want to forgive. We forgive by releasing all resentment, anger, and bitterness and thus set ourselves free from the negative feelings that weaken us. First we have to get past blame. Then we have to learn to send love to all." 

"Forgiveness is the most powerful thing that you can do for your physiology and your spirituality, and it remains one of the least attractive things to us, largely because our egos rule so unequivocally. To forgive is somehow associated with saying that it is all right, that we accept the evil deed. But this is not forgiveness. Forgiveness means that you fill yourself with love and you radiate that love outward and refuse to hang onto the venom or hatred that was engendered by the behaviors that caused the wounds. Forgiveness is a spiritual act of love for yourself and it sends a message to everyone, including yourself, that you are an object of love and that that is what you are going to impart."

COLD


A four letter word that has lingered my mind for the past one month.
Have tried all I can to push it away, but in mind it became a growth.
It interfered with my normal routine and a hazard to my health.
Had to look for a remedy but my mind was filled with filth.

It’s hard to play apart in your life that really doesn’t define who you really are inside,
Putting a picture that projects a different view of things is to subside.
Indeed being cold inside and trying to beat the extra mile in being warm outside
Difficult, but it’s like changing a word to mean the same like saccharide.

That’s another name meaning sweet, but that’s passive
When cold you lack affection, warmth, feeling, you become unemotional calculating and repulsive,
Positive becomes negative, with time the situation becomes corrosive,
And you long for a palliative.

That’s a remedy in search of warmth, but to me it was an exploration
Since the feeling was kinda new, it was like some kind of a tour to the nation
Meeting all kinds of people around, and portraying a negative action
That was my obligation and I did it without hesitation

The affirmation of your weakness sickens your meekness
Soon all your liveliness is turned to deep sadness
And everything around you becomes some sort of a wilderness
Wretchedness, dolefulness are a result and you start to long for kindness

Something that is way beyond your control at this stage
The more the days go by the more you become flat with age
Unemotional to every feeling brought out adding points to your mileage
At this stage only a miracle can bring you back, coz your at wreckage

Every part of your body is against you, and you feel like you’re at war
Bed rest is what the doctor offered, but it didn’t work coz u owe
You owe your inner spirit peace, but you can’t attain it coz of what you wore
You wore a negative suit, that led to your illness, thus the COLD won

I started thinking of a remedy, and started listening to the wrong voices
My life at this juncture was useless, and that is as what my determinant says
I had no control of my life, my life was driven and it was at ace
Having a cold is the worst feeling a person can endure, I said that with a sigh

Why should I continue to suffer? Is it worth it really?
Death was the only option, at this stage, coz everybody thought I was rascally
I never gave myself options for a cure, I just wanted to end it, desperately
So I over dozed that night, and took a nap, the pain eased greatly
All this time, all the things I did, everyone I knew, reflected in my mind
It felt like a new beginning and I actually thought it was the end
I started to remember my childhood times, how we used to hold hands
Love we had for each other, the joy, the happiness and I couldn’t allow all this to end
At this moment, when everything was coming to an end, he held my hand

He showed me peace, he taught me love, he gave me faith and a new beginning
I held his hand tightly, I didn’t want to let go, coz this feeling is what have been longing
 I wanted to know more about him, so the bible became my everyday building
It gave a strong foundation, and no one could break since the bond was sealed

Cold, it became a four letter word, that I only heard about, but never to experience it
I grabbed on to what was ahead and not what was on the review
It became a past, that I remember with great joy, coz it became a testimony
A testimony, A Test that I once mourned about, but now am in harmony
