Oh To Love, How Rare That Truly Is

By Evan Sanders


Oh to love, how rare that really is. The things we love in this world last only so long. Yes, it may only be 5 minutes, 5 years, or a complete lifetime, but at the end we eventually part. How lucky we are to have something so fantastic at one time that makes the ending of the journey so hard. But for people that love unconditionally...for those who love with their whole heart and understand that we're all sentenced to an end, we stay present with the people we adore. We make that moment last as long as we will because who really knows when those moments will be no more for us. Our love is the thing that miracles are made of. Our love is the thing that can actually and accurately change the planet . We see people near us all the time fall madly in love with something they really enjoy, and the world changes around them. We see people who fall head over heels in love with a person, and their energy, the two of them together as a unit creates something that other people can honestly see and feel.

Love goes beyond.

Love is a variety of energy that cannot be explained.

Words are no match for it. Even when the best of words are used in the most perfect way, only a scratch is created on really describing what love is. This explains why our hearts literally break when love crashes and burns. Recovery unfortunately appears as distant cousin. We enter into a true state of loss as the person we were with were truly was our other set of eyes, hands and legs.

Our friends, our work, our relations, all can be deeply adored. Not juvenile "love" but I'm talking about the sort of truly deep and incredibly vulnerable love, where you haven't any fear in your mind about telling that person the worst about yourself, the darkest worries you have kept secret, as you know that love transcends all. You give that special someone the tools to absolutely destroy you down to your core, and you trust them with everything inside you not to.

Love nevertheless can be a fleeting thing.

And that's how it is designed to be. As human beings, we try to hold onto the good stuff as long as we are able to, but frequently the good just runs out and the balance of life takes a dip from what we had. We are supposed to be brought down, so we are able to in truth rise again. I have always thought that the one person I really fell completely in love with, my soulmate, wouldn't simply just be the one that would be rising with me, but the one that would support me and even help me walk through those dips in life.

The love that I have felt during the past has been wonderful, life changing, incredible, and yet at all the same time fleeting. Things morph, things change, and as the years have gone by, I have found more methods to appreciate what I had versus what I lost. I think that really has been a major turning point for me. My soul opens like a blooming flower each time I give myself the chance to experience life. The good and the bad. The strength of a strong redwood is built into my core and flowers of expertise, fervour, and wisdom bloom through my soul.

We are designed to experience the events we do on the trails we choose.

Hang onto what you can while you have it and terribly love those around you. Cold and hard hearts are for the feeble. That is fear talking. That's fear trying to protect the one thing you know that could actually make you exposed. Overt and plain-speaking strength isn't strength remotely. It's weakness trying to convince an audience that it's something else.

Honest vulnerability and a light heart is true strength. The journey allows you to confront even your worst nightmares with keenness and vigor.

Love seriously.

Love fervently.

Love vulnerably.

Love with no fear.
