To Love Is To Lose Control

Finally after all this months I got my hands on another Paulo Coelho book entitled ‘By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept.’ Incidentally this is my seventh Paulo Coelho book I have in my possession now.

As I was reading this book, I started to bookmark certain passages because I felt that they were beautifully written. I can’t believe the simple analogies the author used to illustrate the concept of love.

Here an extract of book, which I found particularly beautiful

…But love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current.

For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn’t even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control…

So till my next post ya, its bye from Ganz.
