Heart Like A Wheel

The beauties

There are 4 beauties.

The beauty of body.

Body is the temple given to you to live your whole existence. Within it you live, so you have the responsibility to keep it healthy, fit and strong.

You take good care of your body, feed it well, clean it well, preserve it well and train it well.

You care about your eyes by resting them properly, you care about your life span by breathing deep, you care about your heart, your brain, your bones, your muscles and everything inside by proper nutrition and regular training.

Your body is the basic of what you have, the manifestation of the greatest gift : your life.

----------------

The second is the beauty of mind.

You grow with your mind's capacity and deepness...

You grow with your understanding.

You live to learn, and learn how to live everyday. You learn the purpose of life, the ways to grow, to solve the problems, to cope with circumstances.

You can learn everything.

You learn about the wisdom of the past, the principles of religion, the forces and waves of physical world outside, the joy of music and art... You can learn everything.

The wisdom, knowledge and skills will never leave you if you polish them from time to time.

----------------

The beauty of heart.

It is the beauty of caring, of sensitiveness, of relationships, of family and friends.

How wife, sons, daughters, parent, family remember you? How friends remember you?

To give joy and share sorrow, to understand, to listen, to give. The power to love, to forgive and to help.

And the courage to sacrifice.

----------------

Beauty of the core.

How will the world remember you?

It is the power of your character, your passion and your dream. It is the source of your life, the desire to live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy.

It contains your inspirations, your deepest values, your meaning.

This is the root - Meaning of your life, of your beliefs, the fire inside of your whole existence.

Entry for October 15, 2007

Em sẽ là gió trong một chiều tắt nắng.
Gọi bình yên trên vai anh dịu dàng.
Em sẽ là nắng trong một ngày ngát xanh.
Gọi tình yêu về cho nồng nàn ánh mắt...
Em là em sẽ là em
Mỏng manh và dè dặt,
Đặt lên môi anh hơi ấm của đợi chờ...
Hướng về mặt trời - Cô gái nhỏ mang khoảng trời yêu.....

Chớp tắt thương yêu...

Trái tim chẳng hứa bạc đầu
Vì yêu thương có già đâu bao giờ?

Có thể đến một lúc nào đó, trong việc xây dựng tình cảm, ta cảm thấy mọi chuyện bình thường, không còn những mặn nồng, say đắm như xưa, ít nói với nhau những lời yêu thương. Thì chẳng phải vì tình yêu trong ta lười nói, chẳng phải vì tình yêu phai nhạt.

Mà chỉ là một bậc nghỉ sau khi phải leo một đoạn cầu thang thật dốc. Chỉ là những chớp tắt giữa hai lần sáng. Là khi có những công việc cần phải làm. Là khi giữa hai lần tim đập, có một khoảng tim ngưng.

Nếu ai đó nói, họ có thể yêu trọn vẹn từng giây thì đừng tin. Vì yêu thương dù dai sức cũng phải có lúc ngưng nghỉ. Vì trong cuộc sống ngoài tình yêu còn có rất nhiều việc khác: sức khỏe, gia đình, công việc, xã hội, ...

Những ngưng nghỉ để tiếp tục đi được xa hơn. Những lúc ngưng như thế chỉ là ngưng trong chớp tắt.

Vì tình yêu hôn nhân là một chuyến đi dài.
Vì chúng ta đi trên con đường ấy không chỉ có bản thân chúng ta.
Mà chúng ta còn chở trên 2 vai mình biết bao điều khác.
Có thể chậm chạp và nặng nhọc...

Nhưng chỉ cần một chớp tắt nghỉ ngơi, chúng ta lại có thể đi tiếp.
Những chớp tắt giữa hai lần sáng để lần sáng sau sáng hơn.
Những bậc nghỉ cầu thang, để những bậc thang kế tiếp hứng khởi hơn.

Hạnh phúc là sau những chớp tắt đó, ta lại hiểu nhau hơn, cảm nhận thêm về cuộc sống và ý nghĩa cuộc đời vì sao cần có người bạn đồng hành...

Nhưng là chớp tắt nên đừng nghỉ quá lâu... vì tình yêu là hơi thở và cuộc sống tuy dài nhưng ngắn ngủi, hãy giữ lại những gì tốt đẹp và mang lại những gì tốt đẹp cho nhau...

Attributes of true love...

"The attributes of Love are: Meekness, Tolerance, Patience, Forgiveness and Reconciliation."

Meekness is to be kind, calm, to be good listener, to share and let the other free to be thyself. To love without any expectation in mind, demanding nothing in return.

Tolerance is to take some disadvantages for the goods of the other; to accept challenges, difficulties and willing to overcome together. Sometimes, it's about taking care of thyself, taking own business, preventing other from worry, sadness, too much thinking, let the loved one to be in peace and tranquility even though thyself may be in sorrow.

Reconciliation is to have harmonized souls. It is not limited to comprehending the verbal and body language. It's more about understanding the language of heart and soul...A silent care and a desire to understand everything about the other: health, study, family, thoughts, feelings, wants and needs...

Forgiveness has something pretty closed to tolerance but it emphasizes the willing to accept some negative points of the other; willing to be constructive not aggressive; willing to admit mistakes, weak points and try to improve each other.

Patience is to maintain all above attributes since building up love and keeping happiness is a long journey. "True love is patient for it knows that love is freedom and cannot be forced or compelled, but will always be how, where, and when It will."

"Many things have been attributed to love that it is sometimes doubtful to say what is love. However, a few facts remain clear. True love demands nothing in return. It is not given with an expectation in mind. It goes with no strings attached. It does not covet or possess. It gives freely. It feels the pain when the other person is in pain and it rejoices when the other person attains something positive in life, be it in a different relationship, a new job, or career. True love understands. True love tolerates. True love knows that love is indeed the most powerful force in the universe and therefore cannot be outdone by any other force. True love is patient for it knows that love is freedom and cannot be forced or compelled, but will always be how, where, and when It will."

However, it is so simple that its simplicity makes it complicating. People tend to be in doubt with something so simple that they only believe in what are colorful, sophisticated and complicated? There are constraints to it because not everybody has patient, meekness, ... but selfish, overhasty, aggressive? Truth to be told, not everybody by instinct has all these attributes. I think the key is love but critical characteristics are modest, meekness and patience. True love trains and adjusts people, enhances them to be better together. Like, love, love deeper and deeper. A friend -->close friend with heart to heart -->lover-->marriage. Love shows the way, creates a will and then a way, deeper love and so on... It's feeling, emotion, the cycle of Love, Life, and Affection with the playing role of The Past and The Present. Perhaps that is why it is difficult to understand what is true love. It costs us some little tough experiences to understand and even when we understood, it takes lifetime to build, maintain and enjoy true love.
