Psyche

Zen Quote on Love
Real love comes not from trying to solve our neediness by depending on another, but by developing our own inner richness and maturity. Then we have so much love to give that we naturally draw lovers towards us....

All togetherness is illusory. The very idea of togetherness arises because we are alone, and the aloneness hurts. We want to drown our aloneness is relationship... You have fallen in love because you cannot be alone...

I came across this quote while wondering how I share story of Cupid and Psyche in Chapel today. What lessons do we learn from this myth?

* being curious can lead to growth
* even if we listen to bad advise - Good will ultimately win
* there is always a way out (solution) of a difficult situation
("God will never test us beyond our capabilities")
*.........................................

or am I just fooling myself?
