Love is when you open your heart to pain.
Today I asked Joyce what love is.
She thought, and said,
The more love, the more open you have to be.
There's no way to preserve yourself, detach yourself,
observe yourself, catch yourself."
Alicia Keys sings about this kind of love...
This love is more important than any money.
Then Joyce thought some more, and said,
"Middle age is suspecting the happiest day of your life lies in the past.
Old age is knowing it does.
REALLY old age is also knowing your saddest day lies in the past."
That makes me think of Paulo Coelho, who wrote,
but it always takes us somewhere."
