african proverb...














to love someone
who does not love you
is like shaking a tree
to make dew drops fall

And sometimes you shake the tree so hard it falls on you. Well at least in my experience :)

I love that quote...but does it love me back? ;) Seriously, though, it is a great quote. And a beautiful image to go with it.

Intriguing photo! Love it! That's why we love to love and not love for a response. The dew drops eventually turn to raindrops and we still appreciate it when they do come...

For some reason, the proverb is not making sense to me. Will sleep on it. :)

Oh, my...such words, such heart-shaking words! Unrequited love stings... But hopefully the dew drops will fall and soothe... Lovely post, Se'Lah :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
