My interpretation of love

Love is so big that it casts a great shadow. What you have to decide is if you will dance in those shadows or stumble blindly in to the light. This shadow is what makes love "blind." It is not really blind though, you see. It just willingly turns the other cheek. Allowing some things to pass as not to be hurt. It is the biggest risk we take in life. For it is a risk of the heart, soul and spirit. Often or not it becomes a risk with your body. A risk some take and regret. A risk some take and delight in. Not all know how to love. It is a condition taught to us. Some from birth, others from some one that they allow to teach them. Some times the light over takes that great shadow. Revealing things your heart already knew but refused to accept. Thus causing great pain that is truly a physical pain. Some say its all in your head. I say it hurts so deep that you cant explain the things it does to a soul. This pain is one that often can not be healed. I have heard it said that one can die of a broken heart. Im not sure I believe this, but it could be possible. I believe that God allows such pain to occur in order to make us stronger. My mother once told me that all pain is allowed so that we can grow. There for each challenging event that may cause us pain is a test from a higher power. Makes sense to me. I mean Jesus died because he loved us so much, right? So whose to say that wasnt the ultimate test of love? That shadow was cast over the entire world. It was a shadow so large that he died to protect all of us. He died so that anyone that accepted him would be allowed to enter into his paradise. I only wish that I could show love so great. That my shadow would cover so many. Yet the area in which it is cast, provides love in many areas to many people. Even if they dont realize it. Even when I am angry and upset. So right now even if I find it difficult, I am dancing in the shadow of a love cast upon me. By many people. In order to heal from a shadow that the light was shined into in order to help me grow. Hopefully I took the right lessons from that. Regretfully, I have learned what it is to love and hurt. Now I must learn how to accept love and not be scared of pain again. My shadow needs to grow.
