Love, Beauty, Songs, and Others

Updated: Jul 11, 2022


Points of Light, love is a heavy word that can be said too easily when living it is often hard. The other person, well she always has to come first always, otherwise, Love has NO MEANING. There is a heavyweight in the actualization of love. I mean, without exception, does she have your best interest at heart and if not, does love allow this to matter? Does she always express her love back to you in the exact way your heart desires and is receptive too, and if not, does love allow it to matter? Do her demands come first before yours, and if they do, does love allow that to matter? Does her song always sing to you, does it soothe you, calm you; does her song bring peace and calm to you, does her song keep you in the minute, can your breath sustain and remain as you listen to her song and if not, does love allow this to matter? Love is a heavy word.

Love is heavy even as it asks you a very easy and light question. The question is this, "Will you consider her?" What fills her breath, how does she remain in the moment? How does she get up each day? What are the things she faces and how does she hold her head up with a smile against the things that come at her as she lives and walks in a world that can be both bright and dark, energizing and fatiguing? In her daily encounters, will another woman give to her something refreshing? Will this man require from her very warm and positive affirmation? Love asks that you consider this and more about her, but love also demands you care about all of this.

I'll never understand the heart of a woman and her ability to give, to care, to do for the other. I should be aware she may like a song whose frequency doesn't sing to my heart and love will say to me, "SO!" Within that little word, to love I surrender. Maybe in her song that doesn't sing to me, she finds both comfort and strength and in this strength she can once more give, care, and do for the other. Regardless, she loves the song, and this truth prevails, "The other person, well she always has to come first always, otherwise, Love has NO MEANING."

I don't get this song, but for some reason she does and in this, with love as my companion, I can find both peace and calm. Beauty isn't always found in a form I choose, but light reveals colors, and in colors, we all have a chance to find the beauty that brings us pleasure. But I've said this before in a more thoughtful way, "But each individual's eye has a lens for a different palette of color even while light is invariably a steady constant. Obviously, I might look at a woman and catch the light of her joy, wit, and intelligence, and find those colors beautiful, while another man only catches her light in a particular

palette of color found in the visage of her form to find beauty. Likewise, shine the light of Alison Krauss's words on my color palette and I'll find beauty deeply touching my heart, making me smile in my happiness when I hear her saying "It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart without saying a word you can light up the dark. Try as I may I could never explain what I hear when you don't say a thing." At the same time, it'll not be true for someone else who'll find just as much light, color, beauty, and happy smiles hearing Katy Perry saying "I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter dancing through the fire. Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar louder, louder than a lion. Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar." The thing is, there's beauty in how beauty isn't static or stagnant. Said another way, when we can accept the fact that we can find beauty where someone else doesn't and when someone else can find beauty where we don't, light being the only constant, we can discover many different colors and find unexpected beauty in this as well."

This is her song, after listening to it several times, it's become easier to listen too. Do I love it myself? No, But that's okay!

As Always

Love and Peace
