As I have said in my previous article people, June is a special month to me. In celebration of the month of June, here is the love poem exists in a beautiful song by Dan Fogelberg which is so painfully beautiful that has made me decided to share it with you all people. Light the eternal flame people.
" longer than there've been fishes in the ocean;
higher than any bird ever flew;
longer than there've been stars up in the heavens;
I've been in love with you.
stronger than any mountain cathedral;
truer than any tree ever grew;
deeper than any forest primeval;
I am in love with you.
I'll bring fires in the winters;
You'll send showers in the springs;
We'll fly through the falls and summers;
with love on our wings.
through the years as the fire starts to mellow;
burning lines in the book of our lives;
though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow;
I'll be in love with you;
I'll be in love with you.
I am in love with you........ "
Yep, I have to let go, people. Can't stop the tears. There're so much love inside. Let love flow. Let love grow. Live life for the love as intended and destined.

The Paths
The thing about marriage is you don't know what's going to happen next even if you've tried your best to fix the schedule - your life-plan schedule. I am not only inclined but is forced to believe that tomorrow will never come when we deal with marriage. Yes, togetherness. But, yes too to individuality. Hence, I am forced too to ask "a very complex philsophical-psychological question on being there/here and spending time and on the inevitability of fate and of crossroads and turns of the road less taken." - to quote a philosopher's words.
The relevant situation for such question is when you are in the healing phase of your relationships with your spouse after the "crisis". There will be an empty space in the heart of the partner who has been hurt by the said "crisis". To amend and re-structure the empty space thereafter to fulfill it will take a lot of effort and energy plus time - by both parties. The greatest impact will be on the one who suffered the most by the "crisis" and she/he is the one will be with the biggest empty space. It is a fact that must not be ignored. It is like NOT seeing the 'pink elephant' in the living room. What I want to express herein people is, you cannot ignore the empty space in your heart and continue living your life as if nothing is changed. Face it. Accept the fact. The love that was once there has all gone!! Yes, you will say to yourself, working very hard convincing yourself that there is still love like before in your heart for him/her. But, people, it has all gone the day you make your war.!
The challenge in situation like this is, when your path crosses with another person that is just too good to be true like your hero in your dream with long hair and piercing eyes suddenly appears in your life and swept you away with the greatest of surprise that left you dizzy. How to deal with this situation people? Remember, the empty space? Within that empty space lies the quest for the golden trophy to fulfill the lost love that was once there. The missing element - LOVE.
I cannot express it in any better way but to quote this beautiful poem by an ancient Persian poet as narrated to me by a dear friend:.
"will you and i with Fate decree,
to change the scheme of things entire,
will you and i with Fate conspire,
to change the things we desire,
so that they will be close to our heart's desire. "
This is the challenge people. The fulfillment comes not from the other important someone in your marriage. It comes from the one that you have been searching all your life, but, only now appears.
I know. Its complicated.

Flame of Love
Keeping the flame of love in your marriage is crucial. Crucial to your together-ness purposes. Crucial too for the well being of your children. In remembrance of that crucial-ness, I would like to quote the famous song in this article. June is a special month for me. As such, this is a crucial move this month for me. Reflect, re-construct, and re-build.
Close your eyes, give me your hand
darling,
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
I believe it's meant to be
darling,
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
Lighting the flame of love is lighting the neon of together-ness of your marriage.
Close your eyes, give me your hand
darling,
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
I believe it's meant to be
darling,
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
Lighting the flame of love is lighting the neon of together-ness of your marriage.
The Long Walk And The Long Wait
There will be a time when you want to exert your individuality in you anytime and at any stage of your marriage life. Where you will want to make an instant and impromptu decision on a life changing journey, like going for a long travel.
You will want to just do it. Take the challenge. Move on with your ideals. Satisfy your dreams. Fulfill your cravings. It is a situation where you either take the long walk or do the long wait. The choice is on you.
A wise man once said that the situation is going to be like this, "it's going to be a very very long walk and a long long wait ... you might be an old timer on the beach by the time i get there. in my journey to the beach of athens, i might get distracted and stop by in Ur, Sumeria, Mahenjo Daro and Harappa, or hang out at the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, check out the pyramids of Gizeh, or even help edit the Code of Hammurabbi. must you still wait? . You'll be old (er) by then ... older by a thousand years. This is the problem of waiting."
I don't want to be an old timer waiting for my dreams to come to me. I want to go out there take the journey to my dreams. No, it is not a journey for chasing the rainbow. It is a turning point journey that only the lucky ones are made available with. In this kind of journey, you make the decision on when to stop it. When to stop will be where you decide to make your final destination.
How can it be possible for one to know when to go and when to stop or just to wait. It's your life, you make the choice. Not him, not her, not they, perhaps, not even us.
Have a great month of June people.

The Reservoir of Hope and Love
Where can you find the reservoir of hope and love? Is it in your purse? The mansion at the country club? Or, at the mall?
The reservoir of hope and love is a place where happy-ness is waiting to be embraced. That's where true love awaits you. In living this life which is so mundane and colourless, we tend to be blinded from the beauty around us as given by our Creator to give benefit and peace to us that will enhance our way of living so that we shall prosper in preparation for the new generations entire.
The reservoir of hope and love is where two people find ways to open up their hearts and discover that there is no limit to one's imaginations. The reservoir of hope and love can be found everywhere,anywhere and anytime.
My reservoir of hope and love is there, under the big coconut tree near the green-blue lake sitting with the love of my life in silence and one with nature. In peace I found true love.
