Measuring Love

"I’ve always wanted to know if I was capable of loving my wife as much as you love yours," said the journalist Keichiro to my publisher Satoshi Gungi over supper one night.

"There is nothing else but love," came the reply. "It is love that keeps the world turning and the stars in their spheres."

"I know. But how can I know if my love is big enough?"

"Ask yourself if you give yourself fully or if you flee from your emotions, but do not ask yourself if your love is big enough, because love is neither big nor small, it is simply love. You cannot measure a feeling the way you measure a road. If you do that, you will start comparing your love with what others tell you of theirs or with your own expectations of love. That way, you will always be listening to some story, rather than following your own path."

- Paulo Coelho


In conversation:

"I love you"

"I love you more"

"I love you more than you know I love you"

Sit back and think about it.
If anyone had understood the ideology of Love, they know not to compare who loves more than who.
It is true when people say,"It just takes three words - I love you.

In Lovie's case, he knows better than to get entangled on matters like this.

"I love you too much"

That says it all.
Good news is, we are both on the same path.


Measuring Love
Part II

"Lovie, aren't you so into donuts?" he asked.
"Of course.. I don't know why but I keep craving for them," I replied.

"Describe to me a donut," he said.
"Round, fluffy, crunchy..."
He interrupted me and said,"That is just the physical."

"Ok here goes," I started to sound irritated. "Sweet, fattening, addictive..."

"A donut is so simple,"he interrupted me again.
"It is made of flour and the way it is done is all the same. You can put any flavour or topping on the donut and you will never get enough of it. So no matter how you would like to have it done, you will always come keeping back for more"

"And your point being?" I asked.

"You are my baby donut."
"No matter how old and wrinkly and fat you get, you will always be my baby donut"



Ok that trully makes me a woman in love!
