First Love

Do you recall your first love? Mine was a massive love that went from ages 15 to 16.  He may have been the greatest love actually, maybe because it was young love.   He was also the most beautiful man I’ve ever been out with – boy that is – he was just 15 even though he was 6’4”.

I have the pleasure of watching friends of mine fall in love and it’s such a magical time.  Their giddiness made me think of my first love and figured I’d share these on this lovely Sunday.

As my friend Charlotte Kasl writes in her many “Buddha books” from If the Buddha Dated: A Handbook for Finding Love on a Spiritual Path to the great If the Buddha Married: Creating Enduring Relationships on a Spiritual Path - that it’s not about falling in love but walking into love. Of course, you tend to learn that as you get older. If we could only know that with our first loves. I hope you have fallen in love before and if you’re falling, I hope you stand and walk tall right towards it.  There’s nothing better than two whole humans loving one another.
