If you want to love, then you've got to aim for it. Love doesn't just happen. It doesn't descend out of the skies on Sundays or any other day of the week. The catch, of course, is that you have to know what you're aiming for or at. Once, a few years ago, I asked a roomful of people to say what love is, in the hope of zeroing in on it.
Love is a giving and a sharing.
Love is a connectedness, and a communing. Love is open and accepting and non-judgmental. Love is strong and tender and warm. When love is there, life is lifted up into a realm that transcends the ordinary. Love gives a sense of meaning to life.
