This is a beautiful post Gem. I wish we could dig up the Love Flows thread from last round...or whatever it was you termed it.
I wonder if I can recall my little axioms on this comparing love to a river, as you have done many times. If I can, I'll post them here. I really, really like the analogy and it speaks to me on a deep and timeless level...
It's the way you feel when you remember something you've always known but didn't realise. It is so real and true for me.
Cheers
