All you need is love...bum be da da dum...
All you need is love... love...
Love is all you need.

With all due respect to the Beatles....

My ass.

Love? You need a heck of a lot more than love. I'm a HUGE fan of love, believe me. I'm one of those hopeless, helpless, fanatical romantics.... but right now love is wreaking total havoc in my life. I married a really great guy. We have four great kids. Okay, so they drive us a little nuts at times, and our lives are a whirlwind of... LIFE STUFF...

And somewhere along the line, love got lost.

Not that I don't love him.... but what happened to being IN love? Where does that feeling go? That connection...that pull... that soul bond... was it ever really there, did I imagine it?

Can one recapture what is lost? Is it truly lost...or just hidden away....

Falling in love is rather like an avalanche... or having a piano dropped on your head. I personally don't believe you can help who you fall in love with, or when it happens. Falling in love... a choice? Not for this girl. Souls are connected on a plane that our conscious minds cannot fathom. Ever meet someone and know an instant click with them? How about an instant dislike? Your soul knows theirs... and either likes them... or doesn't. For me, maybe it's because I'm musical, I tend to have a little soundtrack running through my head when that "click" happens. I meet a a soul-bond and the symphony starts playing inside my head... and it won't be denied.

But does one recapture the music once the soundtrack stops playing? Does the orchestra play an encore, after the act has ended?

I don't know.... I honestly don't.

In other news.... I got an A in Math.
