You are the love of your life!


There is a lovely poem
that beautifully portrays
the realization that
you are the love of your life!

Love After Love

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

~ Derek Walcott
from Sea Grapes 1976




Looking For Love

A strange passion is moving in my head.

My heart has become a bird

which searches in the sky.

Every part of me goes in different directions.

Is it really so

that the one I love is everywhere?

The Love Poems of Rumi

  1. Hi! I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about family counseling in your area. I'm glad to stop by your site and know more about family counseling. This is a good read.
    Family therapy uses a range of counseling and other techniques including media and communications psychology.
    A family needs hands-on guidance from a therapist to be appropriately supportive and assistive in the treatment or recovery of a member of the family.
