" Between You andMe iLJ By RUTH CHAMBERS About the master plan 1 DUNDAS STREET WEST WJUTBY 66-1484 "lLife would be infitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18. " Mark Twain This might be so in many ways because the patience grows longer, time is of the essence and if ail the physical attributes are together ail is well. Believe me, life at 60 and beyond holds ail the joy, the caring and loving that any 18 year old has ever experienced but as tîme goes on there may be an added dimension, a golden glow tempered with a bit of silver which adds to the pot of gold. Love, a much abused, maligned, misused word; used carelessly and thoughtlessly onîit too frequently. Love may go beyond affection and attachment in intensity. Love, too, can connote the presence of passion, a very beautiful and necessary part of our makeup. In this sense too can lack affection, attachment and commitment. Love is an intense and absorbing affection; caring and ten- derness and on the other side of the coin, unreasoning and unreasonable sentiments are often a part of it too. LoAve has to be nutured, carefully; it is not a thing of today and gone tomnorrow. Circumstances can alter love, destroy it and diminish it. there are s0 many foolish, uncaring, un- thinking things which can wreck havoc with emotions. Emotion, a fragile thread so easily torn apart and not so easily put together. I think of war time, the fear, that awful gripping fear which took many people over, both men and women. Lives were destroyed, minds were tom to shreds. weakness became major weakness, wlth no strengtbening of foritfying of love. There was no roomn to grow, just a vast empty wilderness with only aching hearts. However if one experiences love, great or smail there is always compassion resulting even though one feels it has gone, neyer to surface. Love can be estatic and destructive at the same time. the depth of feeling, compassion and true respect are to be treasured, hol d them carefully within your grasp; delicate and fragile they can escape into thin air, neyer to be heldagain. So many "loves." Love between a man and a wonian whicb cannot be compared to "lIove" between friends or the "love" of a parent for a cbild. The latter a most special feeling., A thing of nature, this great love so different fromn any other love. A gentle, warm love, ail enclosing, protective but not possessive. To truly love one does not posses; ail spirits have to be free and to posses, causes death and destrucition. One has to love oneseif and have respect before one is free to love another. When you hear the cry, "I want to be me," a popular phrase at a given time you are listening to a 10sf sould. We are al me; none of us are born equal, we are ah "« me. " Such variances in ail families; that is why we are ail me. None of us are the same. Many of us listen to our own druni- mer. The caîl is not the same, the tune is different. The beat is fasf for some, slower for others. We ail have to follow our own star but gently so as nof to ever destroy another's spirit or sould. there no doubf is a master plan for each and every one of us. The pieces faîl into place. If one can listen to their inner self the plan is evident, not always clear and weil defined but the ouf unes are there f0 be cherished and held dear.
