   Once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were
  sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand
  with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this
  water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."
  
  This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and
  allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you
  attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will
  spill through the first cracks it finds.
  
  This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they
  try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water
  spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .
  
  For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are
  people you love, allow them to be free beings.
  
  
  Give and don't expect.
  Advise, but don't order.
  Ask, but never demand.
  
  
  It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to
  truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you
  must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an
  unconditional caring."
  
  Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
  take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
  
  
  
  Life is beautiful! Live it!
