The Enduring Great Loves

To gain a sense of the "great love," one that endures and is made more in the design of those that require great sacrifice and that can produce great momentum through the fusion of two souls and their expression, it is first necessary to glimpse the potential and art that love can produce. Ordinary loves of today that focus upon partnerships or sex often fail to envision the full body of the developmentally well formed love that requires the work and investment that is likely to produce it. Endurance comes from that personal and emotional investment. Such great joy and delight doesn't require constant presence but a sense of togetherness that is a presence, committed and faithful, regardless of what occurs in daily lives. Love is felt first in the heart, and extended to the mind to develop its potential, to radiate within its glory, and to move mountains, whether they are seen by others or not. To envision that love is not possible without "giving in to love" without preconception to discover its transformational power. Great and historic poems have captured this essence and been successful in describing it though few understand its process and give credence to its effect. Love is always humble in its beginnings and in its maintenance, and unashamed in its expression since the crime is in not acknowledging its power. The sharing of love helps to keep the world a kinder place, a necessity for most, to feel optimistic and to be productive. How unkind a world it would be were there no love in the lives we live, and how fruitless and wasteful. The blossoming of love is the essence of beauty and expressed most clearly in the natural blooming of flowers, especially roses. The baby's breath combined with roses is to help us appreciate the special delicacy of love and how important it is to nurture those feelings, even in their tiny white purity that displays the passion and complexity of the blossoming flower of love which is enduring but can die without being appreciated or explored in its spiraled intricate interior. Poems like this help to reveal that vision for greatness, as traditional as ever.

"To have and to hold"

Well written. Well said. Well put. Well thought. In spite of the number of ways people try to express their feelings through saying I love you, this book has proven to be the final touch on the true meaning of love. No one needs to be poetic to understand love, to know how to love, or to be in love. "love and being in love as Suzan Polis Schutz describes it, "is being happy for the person when the person is happy". It's being sad for the person when the person is sad. But yet, it is also a mountain that is climbed with tears and crowled down with smiles. "I love you" is surely "a promise to support, cherish, understand, and share every aspect of yourself with the one you love". This book is it for those of "US" who are crazy in love with that special someone. Here is a solution to our sentimental problems. Allow these poems of Suzan ( her true love story with Stephen) to work for you. Only after reading this book you'll be able to figure out whether you are in love or ever been in love. Work with yourself as this book works for you.

One book you'll keep reading over and over again.

This book is all about love in all aspects. The feelings that one has when he or she just met that special person, gets to know him/her, when they are already together, when they have a misunderstanding, etc. At any time of your life, you can always find a poem here that describes how you are feeling at that moment. Because as we all know, we all do love somebody in our lives and it's always uplifting to invoke the loving-feeling once in awhile.
