what do you find most challenging about love?
I find nothing difficult or challenging about love.
love in itself is a miracle, a gift of abundance flowing like rivers of honey
for basking in with an open heart..
the challenge can be to keep the heart open for frolicking
when fear comes along for a dip..
the difficult bugger is the ego that trives on fear & creates illusions in the mind;
even sometimes to the degree that love can no longer be felt in the heart.
love is our natural state of being & cannot change, but our focus can.

“love is our natural state of being & can’t change, but our focus can.”
Oh Tara, that’s very wonderful, a perfect perspective. I’m going to keep those words with me.
beautfiul write up, Tara. But…ALL things are constantly changing, including love. it morphs, it moves, it lives.
thx gais & richduck, I’m referring to the natural state of being as the unchanging bit.
gotcha. MY bad….i just (once again) misinterputed that. as THE MAN Homer sayss…..DUUUOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I like how you put this Tara!
Well-said, Tara. I like this part: love in itself is a miracle, a gift of abundance flowing like rivers of honey for basking in with an open heart.
Sweet!
One big YES to this!
One of the most difficult things about love is worrying about the ones you love.
When you have kids, you’re always worrying that they’ll do well in school and in life, that they’ll be successful in their interactions with their peers, that they’ll find love, and that they’ll be happy, fulfilled persons.
And of course, you’re always worried that they’re all right, that no harm will befqll them.
You don’t have quite the same concerns with your significant other, because your SO is generallyan adult, and able to take care of her or himself. But you still worry, ‘cause you don’t want anything bad to happen to them.
Love is worry…..
In one of her books Anne Tyler has a character have a second child to dilute how much the character focused and worried about the first child, but of course instead that just multiplied the worry double. That’s totally the way the whole worry system works.
Worry really is optional, and isn’t at all the same as care. And accomplishes absolutely nothing. I think we carry our worries like lucky charms, as if by making ourselves miserable enough up front we’ll have paid it forward and the bad things we fear won’t have to happen because our self-flagellation was enough.
I think worry and love are nearly opposites even though they often get tangled up together…
hmm, I beg to differ. To me, worrying stems from fear & as such is the opposite of love. I think worrying has to do with the attachment you have to love in relationships & not as much to love in itself. Love is a state of being happening in the now & worrying about the ones you love happens in the mind & is related to the future. Worrying changes your state of mind, it has no effect on what may or may not happen.
oh.. seeing now that you beat me to it Jeannie ;-)
sitting here writing work emails and prefering to look at fun things “oh look, a shiny thing”, my motto. Hi Tara, I adore you.
- lying here wishing horizontal keyboarding could be a lesser challenge & you make me smile big time.. the oh look! letting the moment surprise you equals enlightement in my book. You shine so bright & fabulous & I adore you too Jeannie.
Kathy & Lisa, wonderful to see you, I miss reading your blogs.. iz working on verticality & more online time soon <3
Bridget, I got the beers & looking in the linen closet.. are you beaming? (‘o’)
are there readers of marriane williamson’s “a return to love” here or something???? that book changed my life!
i totally agree. love is not difficult. our egos are.
hi ladybug, yes absolutely, marianne is a great teacher of the course in miracles & I loved how she passed on the principles by way of her own life story in a return to love.
“Love is our natural state of being that cannot changed but our focus can”.
I sooo love the way you placed that into such a perspective!!
