Action Speaks Louder Than Words

Action Speaks Louder Than Words
As I sit back and think about my recently ended relationship ... a loving relationship that I so enjoyed ... I ponder on the thought about "endings" and how "endings" are always tough … even if they are mutual. I am very appreciative for all that I have received from her and all that I was able to give to her ... and the powerful ebb and flow of life we shared when we were together.
I find I have re-learned an important lesson from this heart felt experience but this time with new eyes as I awoke to my fresh reality … this time with new understanding. You see I think I get it now ... that in order to better the odds at making a loving relationship continuously thrive ... that it takes more than making that someone you Love, number one in your Heart ... and more than making that someone you Love, number one in your Soul. It means to consider that very special person that you Love in all that you do … and consider making them number one in the outcome of all your Actions too.
"For Action and Words go hand in hand,
... and all good Love is so free.
But remember that Action speaks louder than Words,
... and that's how Love should be."
Are there other thoughts about relationships to talk about? ... of course. But for now I want to allow myself the space of acceptance of saying "Good-bye".

(I have shaped and reshaped these words today … but now I am done.)
Can the pondering my of thoughts really be … do you get it too? … or am I just drifiting with these thoughts to a place unknown? Do not be afraid to answer … unless for what ever reason you are. Go ahead and leave me a thought and to those readers on GAIA who will come after you to read my words.
Yes, Love is free, that's the 'real' stuff….and in this moment, I am mirroring your thoughts on actions speak louder than words….I was feeling that about someone who's words did not seem to match with actions…of course perception/expectation all challenges for me.
Enough about me….here's to you, sweet ronnie, and supporting your space right now in this holy moment.
You are a dear one my sweet. :)
Ronnie, I completely agree that actions speak louder than words. I believe that actions give voice to our underlying true beliefs, unconscious, or the ones that are perhaps too embarrassing to talk about. Thank you for sharing! As usual…
Nope! Love is NOT free. To love is to give, to give is to love, to love is to GIVE!
ahavah - love, root, hav means to GIVE!!
The more we LOVE the more we GIVE! If someone doesn't give, he doesn't love, and to the degree that he GIVES, HE LOVES!! If you cannot yield, if you cannot accept flaws, you are not GIVING of yourself, and no relationship like that will last. Now, do you want to tell me
why and how much you “LOVE?” You only can truly LOVE to the amount you have GIVEN!
there is nothing else and nothing else works…
My darling late husband told me when we married that his rabbi told him this:
The way you make a relationship work is that you make her 100 and you 0!!!
And hopefully I made HIM 100 and me 0. We had a wonderful, loving, giving, relationship, I learned a lot about LOVE from him…
I wish YOU love..
