When life is more exciting on the screen and between the pages, than between the sheets.
Lust is taking,
infatuation is sharing,
love is giving
Thinking that a relationship is a magical coincidence where everything falls into place when you are meant for each other is nothing more than a cover for your laziness.
Anyone can put paint on a canvas, but not everyone is a painter.
Anyone can sit on a horse, but not everyone is a rider.
No one is born an accomplished lover.
Every relationship has the germ in it to become something great. And every seed needs water and nourishment to grow.
There are many reasons why I chose the name nimble love as a blog and twitter name.
Initially:
As a child of divorced parents, I was fascinated by love.
Above my bed when I was a teenager went a poem by Herman de Coninck from his collection of poems Lenige liefde (Lean Love)
Especially the last sentence of the poem gave me a different meaning every day about what it wanted to say in my life.
My parents both remarried, to what they thought was their true love,
But after a decade, the threads of even that love unraveled again.
I learned that relational love is fragile, not natural.
After their second divorce, they found each other again, not as lovers, but as true friends who supported each other through thick and thin. New partners came along, but their bond with each other remained strong, they were each other’s “human being,” that person in the world they could trust 100% and unconditionally.
That gave me a whole new interpretation of love and of relationships. what they share is for me the pure real love.
