Let love percolate.

One should take love one day at a time. Savor it. Not by demanding or wishing for more. But by appreciating what one's got. Genuine love. If one feels love, that should be sufficient. Allow the love to evolve naturally. When one wishes for more, when one rushes it, one gets ahead of one's self. Yes, take it slowly. That's paramount. It's like having a feast. Don't gorge one's self. Eat slowly. An appetizer. A sip of wine. One can feast on a morsel. There's no hurry. Life and love were meant to proceed slowly. Make it all last. One has forever. Essentially, the rest of one's life. Love must be undemanding. Even when lovers aren't together, love can be savored. From a distance. Love is a state of mind. A relaxed and pleasant state of mind. A little bit of love is a whole lot of love. Don't be like a millionaire who can't settle for a million. Instead, he/she needs $2 million. And then $3 million. Never enough. If it's true love, a little bit is a fortune. Makes one feel blessed. When one is genuinely in love, even being apart can seem like being together. When lovers are in love, they are always together. In spirit. Physical love is wonderful. But spiritual love is even better. Let love percolate. --Jim Broede
