It's all a beautiful balancing act, all of this here.

Dating in the modern world. Biggest tip: discuss which page you are on. Assess whether that part is true. And then from there on, things go better and more smoothly, but no body is saying it would be easy.

Here's what I have learned: People go back and forth with closing and opening the doors of their hearts. If two people understand this about each other, they already have a great foundation for being together: this wisdom and this knowledge.

I have often heard in quotes that "...a heart cannot be broken, only barriers around that heart can be broken."The true relationship comes from keeping these barriers open. If our barriers are too ready to come back up - it says something about us. If they are not at all ready to come up, we set no boundaries that define who we are. 

Maybe when heart doors become barriers, we have a problem. And to the extent that we have doors, and not barriers, we still have to juggle with and refine our judgment regarding how often to open our heart, who to open our heart to, and when to do it. 

What is love? When does it happen?

It is always possible. Love always exists, it is always possible. We destroy our seeds of love from time to time. It's as though we do not yet know how to nourish a plant. But if we are willing, we nurture this plant, and do not give up learning to plant together, love is bound to happen again and again - whether it actualizes fully or not is a different issue. How long it lives for is up to the intrinsic nature of the plant and the nurturer.

So what amazes me the most?

When two people choose to be together, the Universe has allowed for these odds to work in their favor - or they are just smart enough to get here quickly (but who allowed the opportunities that allowed for them to get this smart etc etc (lending again into the Universe argument maybe)?).  The timing of their open doors has matched. In addition, the level of openness has supported an equilibrium. Their heart connection has maintained a balance. As long as they maintain this balance, this dance, there exists a plant. The plant reflects the nature of nurturing, the true nature of the original components that went into it. Its survival represents the optimal balance needed, and the grace and continuation with which is grows qualifies some of this amazing love as a beautiful dance - but a partnership dance.

Tangent: The kind of partnership dance that is so second nature in latin culture. What other cultures have such dances? or teach and understand such dances?

Snippets of little blog thoughts

So, many blog posts have been on my mind -- but I am trying to keep my life in balance and do some disciplined work towards professional happiness as well.

Well, the first blog snippet on my mind: Communication is key, they say... but what does it unlock really? What is locked up? It might be simple and obvious to some, but I realize more and more how unique and deep each human experience is. We may have some sense of what the other person is going through, in terms of their body language, some basic signals etc. But we really have no idea. We have no idea what someone's story is. What is truly going on deep inside? Some of this can only be unlocked with communication.

It's amazing because I think communication requires faith. It requires that people believe that benefits of doing so will outweigh costs. This isn't always easy to do. Relying on probabilities, which are generally based on past experiences can hinder new growth.

It is so powerful for us to share who we are with each other, no matter how scary or unpromising the result may seem ex-ante - I am pretty sure that it is almost always rewarding later. My commitment toward self-expression continues as I revel in its fruits.


The next blog snippet: A thought on my mind, shared by a revered and loved one: "...A real Master is an awakener.."

Blog snippet 3: ...can emotions be a mechanism through which we achieve partial time travel? Ever listened to a song and it takes you truly way back in your past?

Some queries:

~Does love breed love?~
~How do you interact with people with blocked hearts?~ Do you wait for them to open their doors? Do you leave? Do you tell them about their heart condition? Or do you close yours?
~How do you forgive someone for not knowing what they cannot yet know and may never get to know?~
~Do people ever change or truly transform their deep views about life? If so, what stimulus is needed for this to happen? Isn't our choice of external stimulus constantly correlated with who we are deep down? So, are we all destined to live out our deepest initial views of the world?
~Do you reach down in hopes of helping those below you, or do you reach forward/upward to improve yourself? What is the right balance? Is it worth bending downward and backward? Is it selfish to leave behind the people you love?

Tell me. Talk to me. Where are you? Where is your heart? Who are you? Do we know each other? Are we related?

Voy a reír, voy a bailar

"Voy a reír, voy a bailar 

Vivir mi vida lalalalá 
Voy a reír, voy a gozar 
Vivir mi vida lalalalá ....

A veces llega la lluvia 
Para limpiar las heridas 
A veces solo una gota 
Puede vencer la sequía 

Y para qué llorar, pa' qué 
Si duele una pena, se olvida 
Y para qué sufrir, pa' qué 
Si así es la vida, hay que vivirla...

Voy ha vivir el momento 
Para entender el destino 
Voy a escuchar en silencio 
Para encontrar el camino <3 span="">

---Voy a reír (ohoo!), voy a bailar 
Siente y baila y goza 
Que la vida es una sola.." 

yolo; iolo =)
