"Surrendering completely to love, be it human or divine, means giving up everything, including our own well-being or our ability to make decisions. The truth is that we don't want to be saved in the way God has chosen; we want to keep absolute control over our every step, to be fully conscious of our decisions, to be capable of choosing the object of our devotion. But it isn't like that with love - it arrives, moves in, and starts directing everything. Only very strong souls allow themselves to be swept along."
-- Paulo Coelho
I found your blog because I googled "honesty humanity" - and that's pretty cool.

ReplyDeleteTHIS.IS.SO.GOOD.
ReplyDeleteLove means giving up control and living openhanded and being honest towards the things that come your way. When love directs us, it can be terrifying. But is there any other choice? With willingness and love towards life we are able to walk a beautiful, spontaneous, imaginative path... a story is written when we live in love.
