Hi Fa Xin, Your above quote - an endorsement? - LimA

Hi Creighton, I took the liberty to visualize your words. Hope you are at peace with my liberty. peace: not a destination peace: not ... a thing peace... but a process peace... a fluid dance peace... a flowing we are peacing here - Anand

Hi Jeff, I regard marriage as 'institutional' from a societal perspective. It provides stability for social structures to prevail. A marriage is sustained by both love and efforts. It has been said that marriage is not a noun but a verb. It does not pertain to what the couple get; but what they do. On a lighter note - (a) a marriage is "I do" by chance and (b) a divorce is "We don't" by choice. - LimA

Hi Jeff, Thank you on the follow-ups. My focus is on the love between Ms Yin and Mr Yang. If the matrimonial institution is the proverbial coin, are marriage and divorce its flip-sides? - LimA

Hi Dada-da, - LimA

Hi Jeff, I second this - "a couple in love... break down such obstructions" But not when they started to fall out of love. Sad - but such is life. - LimA

Hi Jeff, Are giving and receiving - the two sides of the same coin? But from a chicken/egg perspective, which will initiate the dynamic exchange process? Giving or receiving? More likely giving will initialize the flow? If that is the case, how is it that - "the natural outbound sharing is blocked/obstructed"? I am asking in relation to this - - LimA

Hi Lost in Translation, The joys of love are but a moment long.The pain of love endures the whole life long. My love loves me. - LimA

Hi Lost in Translation, Yes excellent - especially when Jeff's words are superimposed on a couple locked in a hot kiss. A passionate kiss pertains to a "situation... that... have... a major energetic opening". It can be quite natural to conclude that such a kiss will lead to... However, the situation can be this " ... it is kind of like you got stuck in hyper receptive mode. Feeling and receiving, but not yet also transmitting stuff back out." Does this applies to a couple truly in love - especially so when he is compassionately protecting her in their moments of passion? Jeff - please advise. - LimA

Hi Jeff, Are you referring to the yin and yang elements within one's self? The single one is this? Please do so. Thank you. When are the babies deemed 'golden'? Why 'golden'? - LimA

Good morning Dada-da, Hi Jules, Danish Boy - Welcome to TDB. - LimA

Sure. Now go to bed. - LimA

Do not worry - take your cuppa before you sleep. I will pray for you... Sleep tight. - LimA

Hi !nverse, Dream on in your sleep... Good night. - LimA

Good morning Dada-da, Do you think spiritual Atheists may like memes? If so, I can search for relevant ones in relation to their questions which most times cannot be answered by words alone. - LimA

Good morning !nverse, It is now close to 6am at my end on a Friday morning. You like memes? If so, I can search for some from Rumi relevant to your posting. - LimA

Hi Inverse, Welcome to TDB. - LimA

Hi Stosh, Harmful words are snares - but not the good ones. Are harmful words easily forgotten? - LimA

Hi Stosh, I always look (still do) towards Grandpa as my anchor in the search for my roots even though he was long gone. He was a no nonsense guy but very kind - he empathized with old beggars but not the young ones. He would give the latter a verbal thrashing if they dared to approach him for alms. Finding and knowing my origin is important to me and I took "Granpappy seriously" - I came from his groin. Whenever I come across anything in Nature that pertains to 'what/who I am', I think of Grandpa e.g. The following also pertains to 'what/who I am' in my search but it also reminds me of 'nothing was too big' for Grandpa - what he stood for: - LimA
