I tripped. Being the clumsy butterfly that I am I stumbled and tripped and...fell..in love? Is that how it happens? Is it by accident or per chance that we fall in love? I have the suspicion and maybe not so popular opinion that it's by choice. The energy and chemistry that we feel and share with someone is not by choice. It is an organic experience. But as we get to learn and know someone we start to develop more intense feelings and we begin to feel...feel the beginnings of something. I believe there is a crossroad before we fall with reckless abandon into love and where we hold back, just a bit, for reasons of our own. We can see warning signs with someone and decide to ignore them; open our heart, our mind, our spirit to them and completely fall flat on our face in love with them. Then there are times that the warning signs may not be glaring but we save a piece of ourselves because of past hurts and wounds that are still healing. We all will fall in love one day. For many women there have been numerous experiences of falling in love. But as we grow wiser maybe we should be a bit more cautious about who we lay spirit naked before and surrender our emotions to completely. Let our wisdom be a guide in our choice to be in love. And when we do make that choice it's like free falling ...but we know when we land there will be safety and not fear of crashing.
