Dependence on another’s willingness

Love requires patience

Waiting for another’s readiness

Readiness to respond

Readiness to give

One has to choose to be meek

Not knowing what would happen

In order to find the powerful – the Other

It’s a conscious choice, a mature choice

It requires a handing over of power

To surrender to something greater

To surrender to life itself

A mature relatedness

Long-lasting commitment

Never a false surrender

Never an insincere gesture

Love seeks to bring contribution to society

A creation, possibilities, a larger whole

But remains a paradoxical condition of strength Which only emerges through yielding
