That fleeting, yet such a completely transcending emotion; one that makes us feel so fragile and invincible, simultaneously.
At times I truly doubt that the romantic kind of love was ever meant for me - still I do believe and rejoice in its existence for others. As it is that one single human sentiment, which makes everything worth our while.
Even though some of us might feel lonely right now, missing that special connection with another human being, I believe we are never really alone - as love connects us all...
I became reminded of this belief by a set of touching sentences of comfort, send to me recently by a stranger, yet a kindred soul. Her poignant words resonated so strongly within me, I decided to share them here with you;
"Many people forget we belong together as one Universal family - when we forget we feel isolated... The Soul knows no ego, no pride nor fear of humiliation, whilst acting from the heart..."
Such a powerful message from an unexpected source...
I dedicate it to all of you, whether you feel loved or lonely this Christmas, and whether you are with the ones you love or miss them dearly...

Love is a gift that has to be given unconditionally in order to reap its full benefits.
Have a great day filled with sweet love.
Lovely Zuzana, your capacity to love shines through in every word you write, whether it be your insightful posts or your kind comments to your Blog friends. There are people all over the world, whom you will never meet but who care for you greatly. XX
Beautiful Zuzana I hope you have a great Christmas
A Fine Dedication Zuzana. 'Pity Those Who No Longer Yearn For Love.They Are Lost Souls...oxox
The combination of your photos, the sayings and the music is the perfect trio for such a wonderful message form the heart : )
Wonderful reminder that love is never lost. The photos and quotations are just what we all needed today Zuzana, thank you.
you hit the nail on the head! this is the way I have been feeling lately. always around the Holidays, any Holiday. your words are so lovely and the video is awesome and beautiful sentiment. thank you Zuzana!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
U really need not express love. it is mostly an intrinsic sensation. just gush out your love on Christmas. Many cheers for the Day.
I have felt that loneliness you describe, though. I still feel that lack of connection at times and the sadness that comes with it.
I will visit again to read the quotes.
beautiful zuzana...love is...and there is so much more that goes with those two words...and it does bind us all together...tthanks for spreading the love...smiles.
What a wonderful post for the season. So many meaningful quotes including the one sent from a stranger. What a great idea to create a video with the quotes, music and some of your photos.
What a great presentation Zuzana! very deep, and "loving" quotes.
Ahhh LOVE. Indeed, love comes in many different shapes. A mother's love. A friends' love. A partner's love. All different, yet all the same in regards of fulfilling our souls with that energy that keeps us going. And while some of us lacks - or doesn't know - certain shapes of it, we have plenty of the other kinds, and it gives us the power to continue and find joy in what surrounds us.
Have a great - and loving - day my friend!
Thank you so much for this moving post! Such important things to remember....
Zuzana,
How r u doing? Hope all is well with you. Long time.
Lovely quotes :) And brilliant photography I must say. Just love the way you words flow.
Cheers,
Sukanya
So incredibly beautiful and inspiring. You're right about love being made up of so many different types of love and not just romantic love.

Zuzana this is magnificent...and we are all ONE in LOVE on this planet, but sometimes we forget....Thank you for your beautiful reminder, and the kind blogger who reminded you!!!
blessings gentle friend
I feel like I say this every time I comment, but what a beautiful post. I think love connects us all, too.
fragile and invinsible simultaneously...that is a brilliant way to describe love!
Love in all its forms is the only thing that makes life worthwhile.You write very beautiful posts and as Kath says when we read them we send love to you .Merry Cristmas x
I've always felt fleeting moments of love here and there but it never seems to last for more than a few days.
Beautiful post! I enjoyed your video.
I'm glad that you're enjoying the snow. Wish I could but I just don't. Luckiy, most of ours has melted now. Didn't think that would ever happen since we had so much.
I will try and see the clip from another computer. For some reason, this one is not cooperating and showing me your quotes. Still, just want you to know how much you are appreciated and loved. It is universal, it enfolds us all.
Take care Zusana.
Oh, I needed this post. Thank you for touching my heart.
Every so often, we come across a couple who love so much it makes us envious, but the truth is there are many kinds of love. Sometimes the great love of our life isn't the significant other, if there is one, it could be a sibling, a parent, a child or maybe someone we should have been with but didn't get to be for circumstancial reasons. I've felt a lot better in myself since I realized this.
Living as I do in the mystic east, I've come to realize that romantic love is a concept dreamed up by western culture and it is based on impossible expectations. I wrote a novel for NaNoWriMo recently and it was basically about a couple who truly love each other but couldn't marry because of family reasons so they made their lives elsewhere. Yet secretly and without being unfaithful, they continue to care for each other. I haven't been in that situation but this story took hold of me and I just had to tell it. Strange, isn't it?
Such a touching post, Z. Your compilation, photography and selections of music and quotes were perfect. .. and heart-tugging.
How thoughtful of you dear Zuzana to dedicate these quotes to all of us. I enjoyed reading every single one. All one needs is love, love, love, as Beatles rendered long time ago.
Joy and love always,
Susan
Touching and emouvant post, Zuzana
Who get love get the best gift, and who give love don't need other gift.
I'm sure u get and u give , i can read that between your poetic lines.
Have a beautiful and loving day
Kiss kiss
Very touchy subject indeed! Selfless love .. is this really possible?
Probably that is why we call world community and not world family.. perhaps!
Dear Zuzana: Thanks for stopping by my Blog Page as we are still working on recovering and rebuilding my Blog Page. I have no access to anyone unless they come by and I can use their link to merely respond, for now.
Love is self-less, but we live in such a selfish world where people measure someone to love withthe wrong things in mind, without recognizing nor understanding. Love, to me ultimately must be beholden to one.
I celebrate your sensitivity to life and to people and feelings! That is a rare quality and a gift of love to each of us who stop here! xoxo! :)
Lovely quotes, Zuzana. Sending lots of love your way.
Hugs,
Donna
I hope you have a lovely Christmas :)
Zuzana,
I think it is so interesting how you cannot make someone love us.. and love in itself never dies!

PS Thank you so much for entering my GIVEAWAY!
Stunning video, music and quotes my dear friend Zuzana. You are full of emotions and sensitivities. Hugs
I just found your blog and was so excited to see you are in Denmark. My father's family was from Denmark. Sadly, he passed away when I was quite young and I've always wanted to know more about this country. Now I can view some of it through your blog. I enjoyed listening to this song-- it brought back memories of hearing it when I was a young girl.
Scribe, Elizabeth, Kath, Loz, tony, LadyCat, Gaston Studio, Doreen, Jagdish, Myriam, Brian, Paul, Claudia, Betty, Sukanya, ladyfi, Will, Laura, Mr. Whiterspoon, Betsy, Angela, sprinkles, Myrna, Sandy, Maria, Hilary, Susan, Jean Luc, Sumandebray, Michael, Donna, Marinela, The Bach, adrielle, Bhushavali, Jeanne, Amelia, Ann, Philip and Rosie (welcome and thank you for your kind words) – I am absolutely delighted that you enjoyed this post so much and that you too can relate to the sentiments of LOVE.
My experiences has shown me, that love is truly all we need. If we only persist and not grow cynical, despite rejection and and broken hearts, and if we only stay open to its allure and dare to let love in when we encounter it - no matter in what shape - it will move us in an unusual way and change our lives forever.
Thank you so much also to those of you who took the time to watch the clip, I know your time is precious, thus it means a great deal to me. As do your wonderful words of kindness and compliments.
And thank you all as always for stopping by and for leaving comments, particularly here on this post, that moved me beyond words…
Xoxo
Zuzana
Zuzana, I discovered you beautifully expressed sentiments about love later than most of your readers, but I just want you to know that I read each quote and enjoyed the music completely.
Thank you dear Stevie, no matter when you visit, your words always mean so much.;))
xoxo
I can't believe I missed this post - it was so beautiful... and so true... Your video you put together was so touching... "Moon River" is one of my favorite songs... it's timeless and romantic...
I know how blessed I am to have my husband but I know the feeling of being alone and how that can feel... but like you said - we are all connected - our souls - and therefore we are never truly alone. I loved the quote your friend shared with you... I plan on jotting that one down.
I believe there someone is out there for you - you have so much love to give and to offer... your journey is meant to be shared with someone else - the hard thing is the waiting - waiting for the universe to "go ahead" with it's plan! :)
((Hugs))
Christine
Dearest Christine, such beuatiful and kind words, I savour every letter...
thank you dear friend,
xoxo
