As always Bonnie, you share with us wonderful words to absorb and enjoy. I love the works you have been doing lately with textures and abstracts. You are a very deep thinker and creative soul. Gary
Yes, viewing love as a 'choice' reminds us how so many of our feelings, thoughts and emotions can be chosen or rejected. Sure, we often can't help being buffeted this way and that by them - they can seem to come from nowhere sometimes, and overwhelm us - but we can learn the ability to stand back from them, assess them, evaluate them, choose ultimately how to react to them and how to deal with them. I try to do this - not always successfully - and it's a great 'escape valve'. It's like the real "Buddhist' me who stands on the riverbank watching the river of thought, feeling and emotion stream by, looking at it with a certain humour and detachment, slightly apart.
nice..the choice to love is one we make moment by moment..but makes all the difference...
