Love's Break & Move

Tales of Gender Relations : VI

 

 

 

 

A young man does it spontaneously. Meets a beauty at a party, they seem to be a natural match for each other, they have some drinks and before the night is over they are in each other's arms and she loses it while they're parked at the look-out over the city. Breaking and moving is certainly not something new.

 

But in a relationship that seems to suffocate the love impulse, the couple may well break and move in another way. And to begin anew their dedication to the love impulse. It is probably the one thing that holds us together as life in the body. We die otherwise.

 

Love has some very specific needs. It is not simply a matter of words and flowers .... it needs an intellect to accompany its moments. Not just any intellect, but a softly incisive mind that stays awake and responds to each other's spontaneity on issues. Its an attentiveness that implies that no crowd is blocking the way and we will get to do what we want always .... even if that means some creative observations on the mental handicaps of loveless intruders into our activities.

 

It used to be that way when we first began to love. We laughed at our own willfulness to want the experience to continue. We knew, even then, that it'll take some creativity to do so, but to what extent? Did we think a bunch of it was just exaggerated bravado that came to depict love as empty promises? Then we missed the point didn't we?

 

We loved because we kept love's path free of any blocks. We ensured its continous flow even if that meant a journey into the gilded cages, false hill tops and perhaps a magic carpet ride. Are we now saying that this was nothing?

 

Love needs to move and keep moving and if we keep that in mind, we never stop loving. Otherwise it may well be the dreaded break and move again.
