LOVE: LOVE IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY DOUBTS

Love is always accompanied by doubts. We find ourselves saying to the other person ....You're here now, but will you love me forever. There are all sorts of ways we test one another in love. One way or another we check each other out to make sure as much as we can, that this person isn't going to fail or disappoint us, leave us, or have some terrible flaw that we hadn't been prepared for. You can align yourself with your doubt and back off from the relationship. Or you can step over and say.."Yes, here are all the difficult,scary and absolutely devastating things that could happen now that I;m feeling so deeply connected. Because I'm feeling such joy, I could feel the most devastating sorrow if I lost this. But in spite of that sad possibility, I'm not going to let go of this love. In fact, I'm going to hold on to it, cherish it, and enjoy it for every minute it lasts."
