We are aficionados of some very silly movies. “Princess Bride” is surely at the top of that list. Who can ever forget Billy Crystal saying “To blathhhhe” trying to avoid the subject of True Love. And then there’s the Bishop with the speech impediment…”Wuvvvve…TRU Wuvvve.”
\nSomeone once said:
\n“Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a fairy tale.”
\nPerhaps that’s why I enjoy the movie “Roxanne” so much. Love lifts Steve Martin’s character out of an ordinary life, and wraps him up in a fairy tale of joy and hope. We all hope for the same kind of luck; luck that makes our fairy tale come true.
\nAnother wise, but anonymous person said:
\n“You don’t marry someone you can live with, you marry someone you can’t live without.”
\nI wonder how many of us have settled for less than true love sometime in our lives? There are SO many things that confuse us as we look for a life partner…great sex…security…friendship, that perhaps we are lulled into accepting less than true love. Shouldn’t your true love be the one who supplies those pieces of you that are missing, and makes you whole?
\nBertrand Russell said: “Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.” I love him..I love him not…I love him…I love him not. Or maybe the thought goes…Will my family like him, will my business partners think I’ve made a good choice, will my friends like him, or will I loose my friends if I commit to him? All those things interfere. They keep us from listening to our hearts.
\nHere’s a line in a movie titled “Dream for an Insomniac:”
\n“Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love,
\nIt’s a waste of your time.
\nThere are too many mediocre things in life.
\nLove shouldn’t be one of them.”
\nI’m still pondering the subject of love. Pardon me while I try to figure out just what I think about it. <G> You’re welcome to weigh in on the subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
