That Disappointing Moment...
I was up late tonight thinking about life and specifically about love...
Anyone who has had the courage to give of yourself completely and unconditionally to someone else knows exactly what I meant when I wrote this tonight:
“Love is to give, commit, and trust completely; the courage to be vulnerable without the omniscience of another's virtue.”
That disappointing moment when you realize the person you love or loved was never truly worthy of your love (and may never understand the true meaning of love).
...to give and not to take, use, or see what you can get from someone else.
To be selfless versus being completely selfish.
I turned it into a photo quote and posted it here on Goodreads:

...just some thoughts I had late tonight.
My wish and hope for all of you: may the one you love know, understand, and show you the true meaning of love.
Warmly,
Ken

More Pondering...Love...Easter...
"In truth we have loved; yet how many of our loves have been true?"
I wrote this last night as I pondered more about the true meaning of love...
...a bit of a play on words, but also with much greater meaning.
I purposely chose a depiction of Mary Magdalene for this photo quote as many of us celebrated Easter and Jesus' resurrection last Sunday, while our Orthodox friends will celebrate Easter this coming Sunday.
As Easter was in my thoughts, I pondered about this timely message...
I thought specifically about the relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus.
I believe this relationship teaches us of the everlasting, spiritual, and transcendental nature of true love.
The lesson: true unconditional love lives eternally, long after our terrestrial bodies have ceased to exist, it continues on in spirit, and transcends space and time.
After all, here we are thousands of years later still talking, thinking, reading, writing, and theorizing about their love.
Here is the quote along with the depiction of Mary Magdalene:

So how many of your loves have been true?
I hope you all had a Happy Easter and Happy Easter to my Orthodox friends this coming Sunday!
