Therefore, this column is dedicated to the poor and obscure, solo and small firm practitioners, attorneys who are parents of small children, and everyone at Legal Aid. I n honor of Valentine s Day, Miss M has been assigned to write about Love. Love is an active verb. It is not a thing you can take, steal, hoard, trade or sell. You can talk about it, sing about it or write poetry about it, but it ain t Love until you give it away.
Love is the universal democrat.
It is not reserved for the bold and beautiful, or the young and the restless, or the lucky and the strong. It doesn t care what you drive, what perfume you wear, what mutual funds you invest in, or what country club you join. You can t look it up on the Internet, define it with a checklist, or base it on some statistical probability of compatibility. You have to go where love takes you and be glad of the invitation to travel. Loving is the greatest nonmaterial necessity of life.
