Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Love is my religion – I could die for that. ~ John Keats
I don’t believe in much, but I do believe in the power of love to transform each of us, individually, and people as couples, families, communities, and so on. I know that if everyone in the world felt the bittersweet, tender, fearless, electric touch of love just once in their lives, they would be changed forever, and the world would be changed, forever.
I guess my life has been about love, many peoples’ lives probably are about love, the search for it, the discovery of it, the loss of it, the sacrifices we make for it, denying it, resisting it, giving into it, feeling it towards ourselves, feeling it for others, celebrating it, transforming it, receiving it, accepting it, being overwhelmed by it. I think whether we know it now or ever, or can admit it, love is the engine and the center of our universe.
Three cheers!! Love’s actions speak loudest in unselfishness. As far as I can tell from my own brush with it and from the examples of the worthies throughout time, it’s not a one-time event but a way of life. Takes practice and worth working at. “What the world needs now…” Thanks for love.
Nicely said Colin. In few words you expressed much…
Much love!
