Aside from us there are angelic and demonic forces around that determine our faith.
The Machine lived with them for some time. According to classical theory it was a useful part of their life, but in the eye of the Woman who was a romantic to her very bones, it was merely a tolerated item, a poor relation. She looked down with piety on those who could become dependent upon a machine. Passion and dependence meant other things to her. She repeated these three words – passion, dependence, machine -- in her mind long enough that eventually she became tempted. She turned it ON.
Perhaps if she were familiar with the angelic and demonic forces that manipulate the world around us, perhaps then she would not have done it.
But she was not familiar. She hadn't seen “You've Got Mail” or read “The Bridges of Madison County,” she merely lived in the quiet, gray suburban loneliness. She didn't know, she didn't understand, merely felt.
She turned it ON. Trembling as with a first love. It was good. It was theater. She liked the theater, especially she liked the velvet curtains that could hide so many things. It was not the developments she liked so much, but rather the anticipation. It was not for the learning, the fulfillment but the pleasure of simply bathing in it that attracted her.
She opened velvet curtains one after another. There was magic before her eyes. She saw worlds, touched people and gained knowledge of things that were unfamiliar until then.
Seasons changed. The hibiscus brought forth a bud, a bloom then the flower dried and fell yet this time she didn't notice. Occasionally fragments of the real world did reach her. Requests, instructions, she performed her daily chores with head lowered and eyes closed as she continued to open curtains.
Then she found a spectacular one. A unique, tempting one that was the most beautiful among the others. She hesitated. She wanted to tear it open and consume what was behind it because she sensed that what was waiting for her behind it was seldom given to only a few. She was not greedy and open the curtain gently with the caress of her hand and there, awaiting her was LOVE.
She didn't want to object, just splashed in it and began to drown. As she was drowning she remembered that it takes three seasons for new life to begin. Sprint, Summer Fall. And water. In order for new life to spring forth, there needs to be water. Everything necessary was present here: the three seasons, water, love, pain….
And she was born.
But first she died, because if new life is brought forth someone has to go.
She was no longer surprised as she and the Machine sighed their last desire into the dark night.
THE NEW ERA STARTED....

NEVER BE SHY TO SAY YOUR LOVE THAT YOU LOVE
2 Friends - Couple
10th Grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so-called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair. I wished she were mine, but she didn't notice me like that.
And I knew it. After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I handed them to her.
She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why.
11th Grade
The phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks," and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why.
12th Grade
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick," she said. He's not going to go. Well, I didn't have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go together just as "best friends," so we did.
Prom Night
After everything was over I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said, "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...
Graduation Day
A day passed. A week passed. A month passed. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "You're my best friend, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why?
A Few Years Later
Now, I sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married, now. I watched her say, "I Do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said, "You came!" She said, "Thanks!" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...
Funeral
Years passed, and I looked down at the coffin of the girl who used to be my best friend. At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: "I stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him. I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love him, but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me?"

How to Love Someone
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:
Water in Hands"You see this water carefully contained on my hand?" It symbolizes Love. "This was how I saw it. As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds."
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you.
For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
* Give and don't expect.
* Advise, but don't order.
* Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."
Passing thought: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is beautiful, Live it !!!
"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you (without you having to plead and beg), its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be."

Love & Marriage - Difference in Love & Marriage
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders... may be there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one... But may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, "this is love... You keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already miss the person..."
"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, "This time you bring back a corn. You look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get... This is marriage."
