eros pt2

As you may have noticed (hmmm. . . that would imply that people actually read my blog) I have written about the topic of love a few times recently. My question today is why is it on my mind? Why is love so pivotal to our being?

Look around, society has sought out love and in its pursuit it has twisted and degraded this thing which is so pivotal to our existence. It has taken the beautiful feminine form and turned it into pornography. It has taken the beauty of a marriage and intimacy of a woman and a man and turned it into defunct relationships with animals, kids, and orgies. What happened to love? We have lost love and now the only thing left is lust. We have lost the desire to seek what is good, and now worship whatever feels good.

What happened to one man loving one woman? A love that would shake the mountains. You know those stories of love, the stuff you hear of in fairy tales. You know I think we, as a society, have to call them fairy tales so that when we come to a point in our lives where we are faced with the question: 'Where is the love? Like you hear in fairy tales. Where is my princess, whom i must rescue?' We can brush it off easily: 'Oh thats just a fairy tale. That doesn't happen in the real world. Just settle for financial security, because theres no such thing as true love'. We have traded love in for this twisted cheap version. And now we must assure ourselves that what we have is the real thing and not just some cheap knockoff. But are we really fooling anyone?

I want to find a woman that i fall in love with, and who falls in love with me. I want to redefine what society calls love. I want to passionately pursue her; to show her beautiful. And I don't just mean that she is physically attractive, but completely beautiful in all her stunning wonder.
I want to rescue her, from the world that seeks to oppress her feminine spirit into either becoming a sex object or a overachieving people pleaser. And protect her from that which would hinder her compassionate spirit. I want to surprise her with flowers and a picnic on her day off. I want to cuddle up by a fire with hot coco when its snowing outside and talk all night long. I want to lift her up in everything I do so that we may continually grow together and be supported by each other. I want to shake the foundations of that this world calls love. I want to live and love together.
