Falling in love is about the vulnerability in the strong attraction we experience for the person we fall in love with. It’s story is written from the basis of how we may really feel the most afraid of a love relationship working out, then losing it. It is a description of the compassion in-Love-we-fall that we realize for that true person. It may land on feet as a description of True Love. A celebratory overwhelm in the music is the quality we try to capture in the embrace.
We thought romance had a therapeutic quality to it as a gift providing to the world; spiritually it is an offer to the healing of cultural wounds we have to process personally, moving through the experience of the unrequited story of our love lives. And so we are no longer, transformed by finding the Love of your Life.
The transfiguration of passion is described in the music of romance itself, in the language of its rich sound, that we try to match to the feeling the word evokes. The joy, the fear, the risk to fall into it, as when we fell before, and then the courage to believe in it again.
The courage in making this love a lasting chance is the achievement. Just like commitment is as a journey. Writing the words of my own love life story was actually a painful process, an active process, to even come to accept being loved, again or against my defense.
The safety in love we crave may already be there, as mutuality between two people is the surprise we celebrate in each new beginning of a good feeling relationship. The music of romantic gesture sings that positive ecstasy. The intimate sharing in the physical can be a tryst conveying spirituality in the beauty and sadness of living with a love throughout the beginning of a relationship to the final end of death.
The challenge and suspension of attraction is there to push us through the inherent barriers put up by our past because of the importance of expressing the love. As we’ve heard before, “A love unexpressed is like a symphony in the desert.”
In the love song montage of our lives, the message is we savor the discovery of the quality of what the One is, and the total adoration of the essence of that person.
