In giving love, purely, for no reason and every reason, not because you must, not because you have no choice, but because it’s in your heart, that majestic super human organ, the castle of your love.

You transform not only the world, but yourself. The world,-embattled, divided, discouraged, bone-weary with it’s dog-eat-dog mentality- becomes newly laced with the sweetness of unpremeditated love.

It’s atmosphere alters, and you too are changed. In choosing to love not only those whom you have committed yourself, but also others, do you understand that loving and being loved is the one true human vocation.

In giving love, you yourself will understand that we are held in the web of life- by the acts of kindness, the love that we give and receive. 

Of all the wonder that life on earth has to offer, none is greater to me than love. Love infuses life with meaning. It brings light where there was darkness and hope where there was despair.

Loves greatest gift is it’s ability to make everything it touches sacred. You rise above your humanness and see the world. Your child, your beloved, your dog or cat, your garden or whatever it is that you love appears adorable, precious, supremely beautiful, and somehow perfect in spite of imperfections. And love also consecrates time and place and possessions, bestowing special stature upon them. The anniversary of your wedding; the special bench in the park, the quilt your grandmother made you.

Your child’s first note that said “I love you. These become sacred artifacts commemorating the presence of love in your life. It’s late at night and you’re sitting outside on your back porch listening to the crickets and watching the stars.

Your faithful dog who’s been your best friend for years pads up alongside you, and nuzzles his head under your arm. As you hold his warm body close to yours, you suddenly feel a surge of love for him, and the unconditional devotion he has always shown you. 

He raises his head and, for a long moment looks at you as if to say,” yes I feel it too.”

The night swallows both of you up into an eternal peace, and it seems you are the only two beings on earth. This moment is all yours. This is the power of love- it takes you on a journey from separation to oneness. It penetrates the normal boundaries in which you live.
