The physical attraction is the main thing that pulls you into something that is often ephemeral. She sees real 'Love' as what is described in the song she adapted from Corinthians. Although I speak in tongues of men and angels I'm just sounding brass and tinkling cymbals Without love Love suffers long Love is kind! Enduring all things Hoping all things Love has no evil in mind If I had the gift of prophecy and all knowledge And the faith to move the mountains Even if I understood all of mysteries If I didn't have love I'd be nothing Love never looks for love Love's not puffed up or envious or touchy Because it rejoices in the truth not in iniquity Love sees like a child sees As a child I spoke as a child I thought and I understood as a child But when I became a woman I put away childish things And began to see through a glass darkly Whereas a child I saw it fact to face Now I only know it in part Fractions in me of faith and hope and love And of these great three Love's the greatest beauty Sometimes that kind of love grows out of the initial 'trick' of physical attraction. It doesn't ever seem to have happened for Joni Mitchell but I get the feeling that she's made her peace with that. My wish and hope for her is that she's found it with her daughter and her grandchildren.

You're better off with a few cats. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #1232 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
