It's the thing
You want most.

You say
II fell in love
with Mary at that dance
orr fell in love
with Bill
when we both worked
"At Macy's"-
But you're wrong;
You didn't
Fall in love then
AS a matter of fact -
You never "fell in love-
Love doesn't happen
Like that.
Love doesn't start
At certain time,
Or in a certain place,
Or with a certain person.
Love starts
When we start
At our birth.
We begin to love
When we begin to live.
Love is
The result of living.
Love isn't
An accident
Love is
A consequence.
Love is the consequence
Of all you have done
And all you have been
Since YOU started.
Ever since you were born
You have been
Making decisions,
Dreaming and desiring,
Doing things
Or running away from them.
Your life is
The sum total
Of those decisions
And so is your love.
Love is
The sum total
OF every act,
Every thought,
Every feeling
You have had
Since birth.
Love doesn't happen
Because Mary is
A certain kind of person,
Or Bill is
A certain kind of person.
1t happens because you are
A certain kind of person
And you are
A certain kind Of person
Because you
Made yourself that way.

Triumph and failure,
Wealth and poverty,
City streets
And country soil,
Criticism and flattery,
Food and bedding,
Clothes and possessions.
Love is the way
You feel about
Yourself and Your Life
Your Country
Other People
Life and Death
And God.
Love isn't something
Outside you.
Love is something
Inside you.
Love is
Something inside YOU
Something yearning,
Turning,
Reaching out
Or retreating.
Love is
Your own need,
Your own fear,
Your own lifelong dream
Trying to find
Answer and healing.
When you "fall in love"
You aren't really looking
For another person
You aren't really loving
Another person
You are looking
For an answer
To your need,
Your own dream
You are loving
The answer,
Or what you think
Is the answer
To your own dream.
Why do we make
Such a mess Of love?
That's why!
We fail in love
Because we try
To make a person
Fit the pattern
Of something
Inside ourselves
The pattern
OF our own dream
And then get mad
And punish them,
And complain that
We've been cheated,
If they don't fit.
LOVE
DOESN'T CHEAT US
WE CHEAT LOVE.
If we would accept
People as they are
AS people, not patterns
And love them
For what they are,
And try to open
Our lives to them
Instead Of choosing them
To answer our need
And insisting
That they fit
Their lives to ours,
Love might be
The greatest adventure
AND opportunity
And blessing
That could happen
To us.

camp on the fairwavs.
Nov | expect YOU re all wondering what
we're going to do. Harrison was saying, as he
filled his pipe I'm going to have smoke and
explain. We We got no guns, and nothing to
defend ourselves with but these two knives.
He pushed two Chinese daggers out before
him on the rush mat. The long blades were
gently curved away from heavy bone hats.
There was a steely CLINT about them that
made Cairns slightly sick. He had been in
China only two months, and in the twenty
eight years of his life hitherto lived in Lon
don he had thought of knives only as some
thing to eat with.

about. Well leave the speeding to Reamer"

In spite of the distance, he could make out

the armies of General Feng. Major Harrison
had said.
With the setting of the sun. chill had
come into the air. and the lumber room had
taken on shivery unreality that fitted in
with the fantastic position in which he found
himself For the thousandth time, Cairns was
telling himself all this could not possibly
be true.
A board creaked behind him: he jumped at
the sound 1t was the American boy, Reamer
The Chief says, come on down. he re-
ported, speaking softly.
Released from his vigil, Cairns followed
him. In one of the guest rooms was the girl
Cairns had met that afternoon. With her was
Major Harrison and another girl, whom the
American boy called Pam The window was
curtained and the room lit by two candles
stuck ON the brick of the hearth, They were
all sitting on the floor.
ANY change, Cairns the Major asked.
He seated himself trying not to look
scared. They're getting their fires going.
Those two soldiers seem to have settled down
at this end OF the bridge"
Cairns considered it fortunate that an old
soldier should have happened to be in the
country club when this marauding army of
Chinese cutthroats came struggling up to
within shooting distance of Tientsin. After
that Chinese steward had burst into the
lounge, only two hours ago, to spread the
news, the native staff of the club had vanished
into thin air.
Major Harrison had Immediately taken
charge. He had spent all his life it seemed,
fighting in odd corners of the world, and he
certainly looked like it. He was big man,
loose -boned. with lean face the color OF

candles as he talked to the two girls. telling
them that half the fun of China was that you
never knew what would happen next, and
that things like this we're happening some

he was doing it well.
But he had taken the American boy and
Cairns aside earlier and explained the gravity
of the situation.

For moment Cairns did not grasp the
significance of the Majors words then a cold
tremor Coursed down his spine.
