Love isn't fooling, no.  It's not a joke.  But it is fun--always.  When love is recognized to be what it truly is, we know our selves better than ever before, because we ARE love--have been and always will be because we were created by love--a source that exists only because it is necessary.  It can't create what other than what it is and so we are love automatically, originally.

Sometimes our mirrors get dusty and we think that the dust is the real thing, instead of the shine we maintain without the dust.  It's easy to spend years dustING or rearranging the dust in hopes that it somehow resembles the shine, but it never does.  There's nothing wrong with recalling the shine and feeling the ease with which it is remembered, letting the dust find another home...  Oh, it's so nice to have something to fall back on--love.  Love is always the shine, never the dust, so we're ok letting the dust go because what we have left is the real us to count on, to be here--our love doesn't disappear one day.  It has no replacement, never a substitute.   We can't be without it and never are.
