Love Actually - February Theme

Guest

We cannot let the month of February go by without recognizing that this is the month of the heart, the month of romance, roses, chocolates and love.... Might we share some posts that involve LOVE? hearts

So let's make it as loving as we want or as we wish to express. Also check out Aithne's new thread Smolder for those with access.

We may even wish to send out our secret Valentines and wishes to our friend Viggo Mortensen or even love letters to anyone that make our heartlight shine. Wink

I will start with one I received from someone special not long ago. It still makes my day. Very Happy

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HEART

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town
proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the
whole valley. A large crowed gathered and they all admired his heart,
for it was perfect. There was not a mark or flaw in it.
Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.
The young man was very proud of and boasted more
loudly about his beautiful heart. Suddenly, and old man
appeared at the front of the crowd and said,
"Why your heart is not a nearly as beautiful as mine.
The crowd looked at the old man's heart, it was beating strongly,
but full of scars, it had places where pieces
have been removed and other pieces put in, but they
didn't quite fit. In some places there were deep
gouges where hole pieces were missing.
The people stared - how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought?
The young man looked at the old man's heart
and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said.
"Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.
"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking,
but I would never trade, you see every scar
represents a person to whom I have given my love -
I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them,
and often they give me a piece of their heart
which fits into the empty place in my heart,
but because the pieces aren't exact, I have
some rough edges, which I cherish, because they
remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes
I have given pieces of my heart away, and the
other person hasn't returned a piece of their heart
to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love
is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful,
they stay open, reminding me of the love I have
for these people too, and I hope someday they may
return and fill the space I have waiting. So now
do you see what true beauty is?" The young man
stood silently with tears running down his cheeks.
He walked up to the old man, reached into his
perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a
piece out. He offered it to the old man with
trembling hands The old man took his offering,
placed it in his and then took a piece of his old
scared heart and placed it in the young man's
heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some
jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart,
not perfect any more, but more beautiful then
ever, since the love from the old man's heart
flowed into his. They embraced and walked away
side by side.

Oh God, how nice.
I love this poem. Thanks for sharing it, Kal..
Yes, as it is the month of the love.

Quote :: February is known as the Month of Love, and as most of us know,
Valentine's Day is on the 14th! Flowers, candy, candlelit dinners for
two...
I remember when I was single, being an unromantic romantic, I did not
need flowers or candy or romantic dinners, but when there was no
"certain someone", then for some reason, this day can be brutal for the
single person!
The history of Valentine's Day is a bit shaky. The day was indeed named
after Saint Valentine, though there were three of them. One story
suggests that an ancient Roman Emperor, Claudius II, believed unmarried
men made better soldiers, so he banned young men from marrying.
Valentine, a priest, felt this was an injustice to young lovers and
performed marriages in secret. When Claudius II found out about this,
Valentine was ordered to death!
Then, there is Cupid! He was the God of Love in Roman Mythology; his
mother was Venus. There is a story where Venus was jealous of the
beauty of a mortal, named Psyche. Venus sent Cupid to punish Psyche for
her good looks, but Cupid fell in love with her instead.
Colors are often associated with this month. Red has often been
associated with sex and passion, and pink with love.
Certain foods have also been known to help stimulate love within us.

My Burning Heart

My heart is burning with love
All can see this flame
My heart is pulsing with passion
like waves on an ocean
my friends have become strangers
and I’m surrounded by enemies
But I’m free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me
I’m at home wherever I am
And in the room of lovers
I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances
Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world
I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers

E.A.Poe

Here we don't celebrate Valentine Day - I'm not even sure when it is. Perhaps some celebrate it but is isn't common here.

Subject: Re: Love Actually - February Theme Thu Feb 07, 2008 4:21 am

That imperfect heart poem is so beautiful and so true, Kal. Love is not what we have and keep for ourselves, it is what we give away.

All these thoughts are beautiful.

Valentine's Day is February 14th, Vigs.

What a nice thread this is turning out to be. I think I will come here every now and again when life makes me feel a little jaded or a bit lackluster just for some spirit reviving. Chicken soup for the soul? Ahhh.... sunny

Oh, I love to see all the small red hearts falling down like snowflakes!! And when 2 of the hearts bump into each other then I guess 2 persons somewhere meet each other and fall in love. I guess I'm crazy now!

I love you

I think it's a little strange that there are some languages I've never heard about before. I'm aware that Kannada isn't the same as Canadian English/French. It must be a local tribe language somewhere.
