My super-friend, Laura posted some thoughts about Love on her blog today. So, I figured since my day is totally swamped, I'll piggy-back off her thoughts in the form of a couple questions.
What is REAL romantic love to you? And how would you describe it to a skeptic?
The following is my answer. Feel free to post yours in the comments below.
...REAL love has a third party present...God. God is that "thing" that makes a lasting, unified relationship.
Everything that touches us, me and you,
takes us together like a violin's bow,which draws ONE voice out of two separate stings.
Upon what instrument are we two spanned?
And what musician holds us in his hand?--Rainer Maria Rilke, "Love Song", German poet, 1875-1926For this kind of love, it requires TWO people clinging together and inexorably reaching for the Third.
What do YOU think?
