Love is Real

Dedicated to the 14th of February

You may not believe it or you may be the strongest believer of this thesis - but in any of the cases that brings a smile on your face. Ironical, beaming, childish or quite a fluent one. The thing that matters - it does make you smile.

The more you take from the word, the more it requires from you. And when it asks its fee buddy, you better be ready with the debt. Don't even think about money - as a well known proverb says "The more money you get the more you will need in the future" (or something pretty close to it) - but it will just make a total mess of your life, turning it into the endless racing for profit. It will kill you. It will absolutely kill you. Think about love you may pay it with. But be sure it's that sort of unconditional and pure love that make your spirits high, and your ideas bright.

And love can show itself in every action, in every word, sight or look. Maybe a couple of kind words you will say to a taxi driver will change his life, or the small dirty kitten you pick up in the sidewalk may turn to be your best friend.

If you are open to love, it will find you, no matter where or who you are. It will take you out from the worst troubles, from the furthest ends of the world. And will give you a helping hand even when there seem to be no hope left.

Recently I've become a watcher. We all put masks which are needed for this or that situation - that's life - but you must never forget that behind a mask you got a face and soul that belongs to one and only you. Keep your eyes open. Watch the expression on people's faces, watch them laugh and cry, watch as the night and the sun goes away, look at the sky above you. Just watch. In every drop of water and smile you'll see it. Love that makes living and helps to live.

Still I am not blind and can see how people come and go. It's horrible, but inevitable at the same time. There's always a question: what will be left of me? I don't mean a pair of diamond earrings and a lovely house in the country side as a heritage. No. For what you've really been living is beyond the boarders of materials. Your children. Your works. Still there's something more than that. But you must have already guessed - it's love. Love that lives in the people who are dear to you. Love that you've given to them. Love that lingers much longer than a star in the sky. You are alive until the love you've given to the world lives.

It's laughter that we are making after all. Masks we wear everyday may change. Situations may change. World itself changes every second - you change with the world. To tell the truth, YOU are the changes you see in the world. And don't make such a serious face - somewhere deep inside you know that it's right.

The thing that remains is only love, expressed by millions and millions ways.

Take it easy. Take it serious. But please, I beg you - take it right.
