The process of falling in Love

This morning I've been thinking about love. Or I should say, the process of falling in love. Imagination is a neccesary component of falling in love. We look at someone and imagine what we could accomplish together, the adventures. Not saying I'm 'in love' right now. It's just on my mind. There's no 'safe' way to fall in love. To fall in love you must be like a child. Full of imagination and naive. And vulnerable. To fall in love is to put yourself in a creative, open, vulnerable space where everything feels possible. And that's what makes those times in our lives so exciting and addicting. We should be more like children who love easily and mightily. Children run headlong into rejection. While adults construct their lives to avoid the possibility of it. Adults are not stronger than children. They just have more resources.
