What Is Life (Without Your Love)




There is a song by George Harrison that I have always liked....it's called What Is Life. Whenever I hear it there is a line that jumps out at me...

What I feel, I cant say ....
But my love is there for you anytime of day.

I have had this song featured on my Imeem page for a few weeks now. I listen to it just about every day. It makes me think of love and the wondrous ability we have within us to love without rationale, love without rhyme or reason, love without restraint. We simply discover that we just love someone and what we feel, we cannot say.

I have found it often futile in trying to understand why it is we love the people we do. There are intangibles at work, subtleties that we may not even realize have steered us in the direction we find love in. Still, once examined and dissected, I find another couplet from the song relevant...

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side

What is life without love? Without your own love by your side? I am blessed with love in abundance. One look at the people in my life and it's evident, apparent indeed. What is more evident is my own capacity, my own boundless wish to give it, offer it, share it, show it. Who am I without love, who could I ever be?

A very dear friend once old me that they were the sort of person that if they loved you....you would know it, feel it. I couldn't agree more....how could I not show it? Can you say the same, can you say that those you love know it, do you make sure they feel it?

But my love is there for you anytime of day.

Your love might be there anytime of day but it doesn't do any good if they do not know it....if they do not feel it.
Make sure that they know it, feel it....
Indeed.
