I just couldn't let Valentine's Day go by without some comment about love - as commercial as this day has become. Interestingly, I was watching a DVD last night called Women In Love, directed by Ken Russell and based on the novel by D.H. Lawrence. And putting it into the context of Valentine's Day in 2011, is quite revealing really. How different it was back then. I mean really people "fell-in-love". I don't mean to sound jaded (perhaps this is to do with my age or from editing The Art of Healing for so many years, or both) but... I just believe that we create everything that we want. What we see is a mirror of ourselves ie. what we want to see, what we want to believe, what we want to project, what we want to perceive...I don't think this should [necessarily] be a bad thing, it just changes it - hopefully for the better actually, because you are not seeing something that isn't really real - that you have just created in your head. The other thing about love is, that it is not just about this one other person that you are with or want to meet, that you are loading expectations on, to make you happy! I am sorry, but I am with the sector that says we need to love and respect ourselves first, and then project that onto everyone else. We all need to take responsibility for who we are, and then just "love the one(s) your with!"
