Relationships are one of your challenges on Earth, would you agree?

You love with all your heart. You love voluminously. Your love is complete until — until the recipient of your love falls short and doesn't seem to love you enough. Must the love you give be so dependent upon how the recipient of your love responds? Must it?

One mode of giving is allowing. It is a great gift when you allow another freedom, when, on all levels, you let go of control. It is one thing to keep hands off, and a greater thing to keep your heart off. Your heart’s attachment can keep another back. Attachment grows tentacles.
