Love is the center of the universe, so many say, but can the center of you be filled with love? If not, I am afraid to say that love may not come your way. Love is like a magnet. If you fill yourself with love then love will be attracted and drawn to you. If you are filled with bitterness, doubt and fear, then people with that kind of consciousness will be coming around, more often then not. Love is a kind of imaginative thought. Love is not a thing. It is a mixture of feeling and belief. Love is a sense of wholeness and rapture. To realize love, just think of a favorite stuffed animal you had as a kid, or your favorite pet or toy, and you may re-ignite that feeling of love. People tend to be focused on their families well being, their job, their bills, the drive or the responsibilities they must endure, and love seems to go by the wayside, at times. I know if love were the center of more people's universe there might be less centers of war, crime and violence. People might see people in a different way, have a better day, if love were the way.
I sometimes focus on all the wrong things. My thoughts take me to the mundane and useless. I start to feel down and irritated about life. I forget to pronounce my love to those around me and to myself. Those days, when I forget the word love, the idea of love, usually become ugly and gloomy. Then I realize I am looking at my life in a sort of sideways approach. I recognize the backwards thinking has started to hum through my mind....I screech to a halt. I remember I want to feel uplifted, I want to feel positive, I remember love. I want to find love, I want to be love, I want to be loved, I want to love! I look to myself to find love, and believe me it is in there! It is also in you! You just have to look in all the right places.
