So I am watching this movie, and while the movie matters (which movie it is, what the movie is about)…no it doesn’t. The movie doesn’t matter. Not really.
I watch a ton of movies and it could be a frig’n murder mystery or a movie about the practices of embalming in Egyptian society (I know, random. That’s the point.) When it’s time for me to feel something, to figure out how and what something means, why it means, how it’s hitting me, I’ll find one line in a movie, one thing, in a conversation, in a work day, within a run-in with a stranger, whatever, and whamo, I’m struck. I’ve got what I need from a moment to come to a realization.
And this is where I am, what I’ve realized, because of the movie, inspite of the movie, before the movie, lately, again, it doesn’t matter, the realization is here… This is what 40 years has taught me:
Don’t fear. Love. Be in love, be love, fall in love, love someone, love yourself, let love, give love, need love, borrow love (when you forget where yours is), or steal love (love’s moments, loves treasures, and love’s bounty), if you have to, if that’s the only way you can love, but just love.
Just, by all means, by every means, and without fear, love.
Don’t fear.
Fear stops.
Love gives.
Fear inhibits. Love lets.
Just love. Even in your smallest moments, let…
Love...
Keep being fabulous. Keep loving.
About Me
- Levan
- Don’t you just love an “About Me”? It asks so much yet promises so little. So, here is a little. I’m in my 40s. I’m what I’d call your average, down to earth girl. Although, I’ve been called a lot of things by those who do not know me (mostly good, but some…eh?), which would include: Typical So. Cal blonde (I’m so not!), short (I am), talkative (Duh; I’m a writer. We’re built that way), gregarious (also true). 3 out of 4 ain’t so bad. Those who know me would say I am: A good friend, a lover of food, laughing and wine (so, so, true!), an artist (also true) and I am, before anything else, always a student of life and a teacher of whatever I can teach (yup, on the mark). Oh, and I’m curious—insanely so. That’s what I’d say about me. The things I am most curious about are: spirituality, interpersonal relationships, and why people do the things they do. Oh, and I am also curious about why it is I love to write so much but I cannot always seem to sppeil correctly or edit my own stuff very immpmresssively. (One day, my bad spellinkg and f'd punctuation will have a proper editor!)
