Love...

I had to ask my kupuna why a beautiful love sometimes creates an intense lingering ache. I would have asked Ke Akua but I didn't want to bother Him with too many things when there are more pressing things in the world.

My kupuna told me that love only hurts when it is selfish, jealous and coveting. In other words. Conditional. And based upon your own wants and needs. Wow. I never expected that answer. I certainly have an uphill battle. But I am very excited to have a plan of action now. My only problem, however. Sometimes I thrive on the pain...
