"It is not your job to seek for love. It is your job to seek within yourself all the barriers against its coming."
This is what i agree with all my heart. By the way the best comment for this post can be the lyrics of your "tango flight". Here goes...

RODRIGO LEÃO - Pasión

no
me olvides que yo me muero
amor
mi vida sufrimiento
yo
te quiero en mi camino
por vos
cambiava mi destino

ay
abrazame esta noche
y aunque no tengas ganas
prefiero que me mientas
tristes breves nuestras vidas
acercate a mi
abrazame a ti por Dios
entregate a mis brazos

tengo
un corazón penando
yo se
que vos lo estas escuchando
con
mil lagrimas te quiero
pasión
son mi amor sincero

ay
abrazame esta noche
aunque no tengas ganas
prefiero que me mientas
tristes breves nuestras vidas
acercate a mi
abrazame a ti por Dios
entregate a mis brazos.


And some translation from the song:

No, you make me forget that I die,
My love, my life is suffering,
I want you to be in my way
.......
And although you do not have desire
I prefer that you lie to me
......

something like that, sorry if i had mistakes :)
Thank you for the post...see u next comment ;)

How can someone so sddicted to tango look for barriers against love, Calliani? Especially when you hear lyrics like those you posted all the time..

BTW, thank you so much for the lyrics and for the translation! I understand Spanish but not all of my readers do.

Yep those barriers, you don't even know what u r looking for till they show up. The next problem is how to get rid of them.
I saw one movie last night "Under The Tuscan Sun" . There was a part from that movie which gives me another way of thinking about love and happiness. "They say that they built the train tracks over the Alps between Vienna and Venice before there was a train that could make the trip. They built it anyway. They knew one day a train would come."
So your life must be ready for it, without barriers and with dozens of roses for welcome.

Let me see if I get this right: you agree with finding all the barriers in order to later get rid of them. So it's not about building a shield against love, it's about smoothing the way for love, right?

exactly ;)

It is not your job to seek for love. It is your job to seek within yourself all the barriers against its coming."

This is what i think too. To unravel one barrier after the other aganist love is what's needed. This barriers are not restrictions but mostly false ideas and pictures of what love is and should and must be. The picture of love and hurt, love and wound, love and pride,...etc.

Getting rid of the barriers is one thing, using them to protect your self from love is another. This was the theory I was fighting against…

About false images about love, I think they should be ignored from the start in order to only be focused on what could really go wrong not what is supposed to be wrong.

No protection from love! What is this. Can this be in the first place? Protection form love, then it is not love, right?

False, past images or perceptions of love should not be ignored. Why? I think they should be brought into consciousness, identified and traced back to 'why i have been thinking of love like this or that', find the truth from the false in this picture and let go after that. It is like moving through a corridor where all pictures are scary, becasue initially we assume that nothing is good in a dark deserted place, but then when we talk to them, we discover that they are 'dark' for a reason, and this reason happened to us, our system defended it through its defense mechanism to protect us, or thought to protect us. Now it is about time to de-protect ourselves from the false shields and self destruction weapons.

I rambled. not sure if i understand what i have written in the first place :)

Not ignored...it was not the right word...More like identify and then dismiss...And create an accurate, open-minded image of love for yourself. And people should really start with "Love lasts forever". No shit??? If you get rid of the happy ever after concept you really wouldn't suffer that much when something eventually goes wrong. True, it might last forever, but it really isn't the end of the world if it doesn't...That's why the sun keeps on shinning! :))

Calliani, this is a quite rough translation of what's missing from yours...Will revise later.

My destiny changed through you

Take me in your arms tonight
And even if you don’t feel like it
I’d prefer you to lie to me
Our lives are sad and short
Come closer to me
Hold me in your arms
Give yourself the my arms

My heart is longing for you
I know you are listening to it
With thousands of tears
I love you
Passion
You are my true love

Take me in your arms tonight
And even if you don’t feel like it
I’d prefer you to lie to me
Our lives are sad and short
Come closer to me
Hold me in your arms
Give yourself the my arms

I think the both ways are correct...
First thing you do when you fall in love is to strongly deny it.
Then, you start building barriers and reasons why the fulfillment of this feeling is totally impossible and unacceptable...
Slowly but surely, one by one all your barriers start falling down, and you find yourself trapped by your own arguments. The more you try to run, the more you get deeper into it. Until, you can't hide anymore...
Vulnerable, prideless, blinded...you start singing this song...

PS: Thank you very much for the lyrics,the traslation and the name of the song. I was desperate for it but didn't know but some words from it.
si inca ceva...si eu sunt tot din Bucuresti:D
E-o primavara minunata!
