So what about love?

So what about love? Love conquers all? Ignorance, ideology, hate, envy, greed, power? These seem easy. They grow like weeds. They don't let go. They can propagate for centuries. Love takes nurturing and care. It's the Pope's message pushing aside the rubble, the death, the brutality of war, sowing seeds that will hopefully mature and bear fruit.

Who knows if we humans are really the beasts we sometimes appear to be. Who knows if love is alive in the  small places ready to live up to the hopes we have for it. But in reality, the only place you can be sure it is is within you.
