Yes! I think that to try to hold on to the object/experience of love is doomed… unless one is in love with the holding-on-to. And even there, there is nothing to hold on to. But love is of a different order of experience than possession. Perhaps it is in trying to claim that which we love where the heaviness starts.
Beautiful, relatable illustrations - thank you!
When we know so much, how can we simultaneously be so wrong? Is it in the shift between being and knowing? Between remembering and forgetting?
these particular love affairs were complete. of course if they had been long term...
