neither big nor small, simply love

reblogged from Paulo Coelho's blog:

"How can I know if my love is big enough?"

"Ask yourself if you give yourself fully or if you flee from your emotions, but do not ask yourself if your love is big enough, because love is neither big nor small, it is simply love. You cannot measure a feeling the way you measure a road. If you do that, you will start comparing your love with what others tell you of theirs or with your own expectations of love. That way, you will always be listening to some story, rather than pushing your emotions to their limits"
