There Is No Such Thing As Simple Love

The title of this post comes from a button a movie theatre gave out 35 years ago when showing a Dutch film, Spetters.  

I was reminded of it by the play The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown that I saw at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven recently.

"Love never dies a natural death.  It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.  It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.  It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of tarnishings."

-Anais Nin as quoted by the Playbill for The Last Five Years

Spetters was right, love is never simple.  That said, it doesn't need to die.  Remember nothing good comes easy and true love is hard to find.  When you find it, keep it alive.  Don't let it die by natural death or otherwise.
