some of us love in small ways, while some of us love in very little ways.

there is a difference.

some of us are busy trying to manage the love that we have already “reserved” for certain people in our ‘circle of love’ . It should thus come as no surprise then, that because this love is contained/assigned/reserved for certain people, we run out of abundance of love for new people. it is a unidirectional way of love… what goes in, doesn’t come out. in a way, it is an abundance of love, but with limited means of flow.

some of us are so busy seeking love with such zeal, akin to Rumi seeking God’s Eternal love and light, that we forget the distractions around us, and inadverdently have built a tunnel with multiple doorways and openings. the flow of love is not just bi-directional, it flows in multiple paths and channels, sometimes it lands on someone deserving, and sometimes it lands on hapless individuals who have no idea what hit them. this uncontrolled pattern, laden with an abundant supply, has an unlimited or incomprehensible directional routes.

I suppose this is how we can either think small, and stay small… or think big and make way for room for more,

I suppose this is why some of us are guarded with our hearts and take a very long time, while some of us just fall hard, and keep getting back up after that catastrophic fall.
