The easy thing to do is love.
I listened to this song unexpected today. I’ve not heard this song in years, I don’t generally listen to Shirley Bassey but I was thinking about a lovely friend who has a little bit of a shaky heart at the moment and this song just came into my head. I love it when that happens and you get a song that is so beautiful like this one. I wonder if that happens to other people, they think about a person and a song comes into their head. It happens a lot for me. Here is the song. Its lovely. It would be, my friend is lovely.
Sentimental people see the world
With the gentleness of fools
Wishful thinking makes the days go by
Every minute is a lullaby
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
Tender people still believe in love
Broken promises are few
Only hearing what they want to hear
Twisting words to make
them sound sincere
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
And the world would be a better place
If it’s people didn’t have to lie
For the lier
Is a lier
And only fools himself
If the man could only see himself
As the younger man that grew
Love could find a place and no mistake
Wiser man and he had learned to late
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
And the world would be a better place
If it’s people didn’t have to lie
For the lier
Is a lier
And only fools himself
If the man could only see himself
As the younger man that grew
Love could find a place and no mistake
Wiser man and he had learned to late
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
It’s the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
For my lovely friend.
Love Di x
A heart full of life will shake a little
A heart full of delight will shake a little
A heart full of passion and wonder will shake a little
Lets drink to little shaky hearts
Here’s to heart shake delights
For my lovely friend
Cheers……. Love Di.

To love is easy. To love without let or hinderance. To love without conditions. To love without faith or hope for a returning of that love. This may be the purpose of life. It is natural to love worldly things, friends, family and those to whom you are emotionally or physically attracted. To learn to love all others . . . is a life time of study. Thank you for your posts. With love (of course) A Friend of God.
Please look me up on Twitter at http://twitter.com/godpal and share if you feel moved to do so. Love is my singular interest.

Oh How lovely a friend of God has come to visit and made a comment, thank you so much for commenting and welcome.
I’ve not done twitter (yet) but a friend of God with love as your singular intrest sounds like a real good way to begin a twitter trip. Yes I will come to visit you. Thank you for the link.
I’m smiling here as I love love but I wouldn’t know where to begin to try to write down my understandings and beliefs around love, like you say its a life long study and I’m thinking for me its a study that I never want to fully learn and one that I never want to fully finish.
Love has a newness every day for me just like the day itself.
I do love sometimes with attatchment and in some situations and with some feelings of love I seem to want a return, yes its natural I quess. I kinda know when this is because I’m not comfortable with the WANT.
I have a little thing going on, the little thing is ; I dream of that being in love feeling. Yup ! That little old feeling of being in love and just today I was thinking about the differences AGAIN.
Love
In Love.
Yes just those three words.
Thank you Godpal for commenting and getting me to talk about love.
The easy thing to do is love.
Love Di.
I love love.

Oh I want to talk about love but I don’t know where to begin. Ha ! Thats a song, another Shirley Bassey song. Love story.
Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?
Like a summer rain
That cools the pavement with a patent leather shine
He came into my life and made the living fine
And gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
He fills my heart
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels’ songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I’m never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely
I reach for his hand, it’s always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I’m going to need him till the stars all burn away
And he’ll be there
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels’ songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I’m never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely
I reach for his hand, it’s always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I’m going to need him till the stars all burn away
And he’ll be there.
Oh ! How lovely. This is love with attachment isn’t.

Hey Friend Of God,
I came to your Twitter Home and I wanted to leave you a comment to say thank you to you for getting me to think about Love. I’m thinking more on the lines of attatchment and comfortablesness.
You know…
I have to admit that I long to find a place within where I can easily feel free enough to begin to learn that not all attachment is unhealthy in a kinda loving realationship setting.
I do love, I feel that I give and recieve love and am fortunate to have that love returned by the universe, well I think that fortunate is the wrong word to use here, its not fortunate is it, its kinda just what happens when you love and you care and you respect and you give.
You get it back – Its easy, its natural and it flows. I think I’ve got love boxed off – Hehe ! Di’s laughing at ‘boxed off’ in that area but the attatchment love and me wanting some sort of return and me being all needy and me being all co-dependent and me being urgent around love kinda really freeks me out.
I don’t know what I’m going to do about that. Hehe !! I guess I’m going to do nothing about that. I don’t even want to be aware around it all to tell you the truth.
I wonder if I’ll ever be in a realationship – No – I’m not going to wonder that now. In fact that wonder is not as regular as what its been in my past.
I am very happy most days. I’m just going to carry on loving and not worry about attachment. I’ll worry about attatchment when I feel it.
Ha !
Maybe one day I will enjoy attatchment. Oh! What am I wiittering on about. Please excuse the witter.
Its a Twitter Witter. Hey Friend of God maybe its a good job I couldn’t leave a comment as I would have written all this witter on your twitter.
ONE LOVE
Di.
Thank you. x

Awwww !!!
And LOVE in friends.
When I think about love, I think about my friends. I don’t have that romantic love going on with one person to focas on, well I guess I can get all romantic within myself with my friends sometimes as in the thinking of a friend and a lovely love song comes into your head – like this one I feel all romantic. Hehe !!
I think when we have friends we should tell them that we love them, and take great pleasure of doing random acts of loveingness to show them that we love them.
I wonder how other people show their friends that they love them. I’m thinking with love and friends there sometimes comes a complacencey – we’re allowed to get complacencent with our best friends arn’t we as theres such a love and safeness in being all familiar and complacent with each other… Um .
I wonder how other people love their friends ?
I am nothing without my friends.
I love my friends so much.
My friends love me so much.
I feel blessed today.
Lets Love – Its the easy thing to do.
Love in friends

Hi Di,
I enjoy your post. The easy thing to do is truly love your surroundings. It is so easy to become frustrated and caught up in our stressful lives. We should all take your message to heart day to day.
Btw I just stumbled and submitted your blog to viralogy. Hope it brings you a lot of new readers!
