Love Has No Boundaries

Love Has No Boundaries

Today I am reminded by a good friend by the name of Deborah Wyss that love has no boundaries.  Throughout our lives we find ourselves facing many challenges that can bring confusing thoughts for what love might mean to us individually when exploring many kinds of relationships including friendship, intimate and perhaps even professional.  As a result, we are constantly presented with opportunities to choose to love or hate and we pick carefully what we find appealing and constantly wonder if love could ever come our way in the form that we define, or consider satisfying, pure and unconditional.  However, we may forget at times that this is the very fuel that keeps us healthy as a society.  It is the very essence that we seek for ourselves.  Yet, we are often the ones that create the barriers that withhold us from discovering the most beautiful display of human kind: Love itself.  

Most often, we simply withhold the possibility for love itself because of the way that we define and choose to love in various forms: not always intimately physical.   However, after watching the beautiful story: "Boy meets Girl", I cannot help but find the picture refreshing in the way that it presents sexual orientation in such a natural and non judgemental way - its truly beautiful to discover the many facets of love.  There is truly nothing as pure an beautiful as love itself.  Humans have been given the most beautiful characteristics of all living things, the ability to choose to love, as we all deserve to be.   Love has no boundaries.  Love is the most beautiful display of human kind and we are blessed to have it all within us, so choose to love, not hate.

Thank you my wonderful friend  Deborah for sharing your love and the great reminder that we choose to love as oppose to hate.  Love has no boundaries.  Now I wish to give back to you the love that was given to me with this beautiful movie recommendation: Boy Meets Girl.  Enjoy!
