darts and daggers

There is a difference between leader and follower, between a plan presented and a plan created. So much of life is solitary, our internal experiences ours and ours alone; unity and togetherness but illusions; protectors of our psyche as coats against the cold. And what of Love? This invisible thread that weaves a life between two, that stitches collar to coat. Does it not need two? Does it not demand an other? And do we not punish most with isolation, solitary confinement. Hate me if you will. Throw your darts and daggers jagged. But by Janus, don't walk away.

how true and powerful this is!
perhaps this lies at the core of much of our unhappiness, that we always assume Love has to be shared, reciprocated... i find these words by Goethe:
"If I love you, what business is it of yours?"

very unsettling: and if this is the right way to go about loving? if Love is also a solitary thing, and we shouldn't blame the other, we shouldn't ask anything from the other?

i don't know...

a kiss for you, and another warm hug :-)
