Love byte # 22 - To Become One

Its been a long day and I'm exhausted and tired and I could just about doze off but a commitment is a commitment so for today's love byte im sharing with you an excerpt of a conversation between the widowed father and his daughter taken from the novel Corelli's Mandolin . Its a powerful extract , one that describes love as transcending all barriers ..

"Love is not breathlessness, its not excitement , it is not promises of eternal passion , it is not the desire to mate every second , minute of the day , it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body . No , don't blush . I am telling you some truths . That is just being ' in love ' , which any fool can do . Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away ..Your mother and i had it , we had roots that grew towards each other underground , and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from the branches , we found that we were one tree and not two .. "
