it was the loveliest of evenings...the weather was just perfect...not warm nor too cold. but cold enough to want to snuggle inside the blanket with the love of ur life...thats when i met this distressed swan. he was crying in pain. his loved one was not with him. she was taken away into another shelter that night. it was more than he could bear. he longed for her, to feel her warm white fluffy feathers against his own...he wanted to coo softly to her. he refused to eat that night and kept calling out to her...and sitting in her den, she heard his cry and she quietly shed tears. she consoled herself, he is just one night away...they would be together again when the sun shows up...and then they would swim and frolic in the lake warmed by the glowing sun...

its a delight see those swans smoothly gliding over the water. i really need to learn swimming. it is absolute joy to watch them swim. the effort of their webbed feet pedaling the water is not obvious at all from above. i wonder when and how they make love!! while in the water or while they r on the shore? hahaha

What is love!!!

There will be many definitions. Though, one wonders whether most of us experience it even once in our lifetime. This even when love can come to us from so many corners; from parents, relatives, friends, and of course, a 'beloved'. This beloved is so interesting a word--A person of opposite (or same!?!) sex, who is much loved. Haha. This is going in circles.

I am trying to define love. And I will not try to do it in one sentence. Here is a list of what love may be, may consist of, may encompass.

• Its a feeling, and most would want it to be mutual
• Its a state of mind
• Attraction
• Desire, to be together, physically mostly
• Sacrifice
• Comfort
• Anguish, especially when away, Longing
• A smile on the face, mostly at odd hours, and mostly for no apparent reason
