What does the word 'love' mean to you?

'L' is for the way you look at me
'O' is for the only one I see
'V' is very very extraordinary
'E' is even more than anyone that you adore....

*grins* Vic sings that sometimes.

Honestly, I've been in love so many times--and each time it's different; love is never the same way twice. The Trill word
(pronounced 'lauv') means 'change' or 'changing', which is slightly ironic. In a way, love never changes; but in a way, it's always changing, always in motion. I'm not much of a philosopher, but I always saw love like a river; it stays in the same place almost forever, and you always know where to find it--but at the same time it never stops moving and changing. The water you step into today isn't the same water you stepped in yesterday, or that you'll step in tomorrow. But it all comes from the same source.

Sometimes rivers dry up. Sometimes love does, too.

People do silly things in rivers. They float into rapids on planks of wood or hollow rubber tubes, and they do all manner of strange things on waterfalls.

But people do even sillier things in love. :)

*grins* Like I said, I'm a counsellor, not a philosopher. But I've seen love from an incredible variety of perspectives, including my own. I think I'm safe in summing up love by saying that 'the more things change, the more they stay the same'.
