The inevitability of Love

Staring out my window looking through the sheets of grey rain at the enormous gum tree dancing in the breeze, I feel comforted. There has always something about a good thunder-storm that soothes me right to the wick. The thing about thunder storms is that they are inevitable. I am yet to meet a person who can stop them. It is as though mother earth feels the need to cleanse herself with rain and express her emotions with the brilliance of lightning and the power of thunder.

Weather moves in cycles. All of life moves in cycles. We all fall into step with the rhythm of life – even if we don’t know it. This is the season of love. We didn’t decide that it was time to move from fear to love and yet nobody, it seems, is immune.

There are people around me falling in love. Established couples are re-evaluating their love and deepening it. More still are making their love official with proposals and Weddings. Love has become the flavour in the air, the all-pervasive mood and the twinkle in our collective eyes.

Happy Valentines Day. Bring on the year of the Tiger. May we all roll with the flow that is Love and enjoy its simple unfettered pleasures. After all Love is inevitable. And it is cyclic. Enjoy it while it is lapping at your feet, for it isn’t always so omnipresent.
