] Date Posted: 15/01/07 17:28 In reply to: sweetsong 's message, "' i love you'" on 15/01/07 14:10 I stand by what Blackhawk has said, and agree with Sam - if I say I love someone, then yes, I would help them as best I could, and yes I would care for them if they needed me. Sweetsong, you say 'if someone does not know me...' but how do you define 'knowing you' - there are friends in the Garden who I know in the physical world, and also those who I firmly believe I have met on a different level (during meditation for instance) and who I feel I have 'met' and gotten to 'know' - I feel that there are many different levels of knowing someone... and to have that connection with someone you may not have met 'physically' but still know that they would be there for you if you needed them, know that they really do care about how you are, is a wonderful thing.... I am so happy that the Garden has become a place that folk can relax in and is a place where I have witnessed, and felt, such love and respect for one another. There are some folk who have been with the Garden since it first opened, and although I may not have 'met' these folk in the manner you might deem acceptable, I feel very close to them, and yes, I have love for them. I mean no offence Sweetsong, but it sounds like you have been hurt by someone who you believed loved you. In previous posts you have talked about problems with trusting others, or making friendships - perhaps if you allow yourself to be loved, and allow yourself to love others, you will find your world a happier place. Ripples not only stretch outwards, but also return to the place they originated :) Namaste Whitewolf [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 15/01/07 18:57 Dear singing sweet garden dweller. I imagine love will be conceptualised differently by some of us, felt and experienced differently by others. For those that see life, love, people 'out there' and separate......a sense of 'relation'- ship will come into it. What you are talking about as love is more what I consider friendship......both intertwined of course. Who knows if we mean the same thing when we say the words 'i love you' to another. We can never know that about anything, only the influence of life/people/beings on our hearts and our exchange in the eternal flow of moments. Back to the expression of friendship and the love within that, I think needing the solace and acceptance of people that you feel know well your reality, your deep feelings, your hopes and your dreams within the sphere of your experience is very important for our emotional well being. If you are not getting that right now and therefore feel you aren't being loved genuinely then it is very understandble we are having this conversation...... Feel free to drop me an e mail off list...... zenwind [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
