I keep thinking about love


I keep thinking about love.
How it takes courage to love.
How good it feels to be in love.
How it’s the foundation of the religions who fight one another.
How it persists against greed, hate and fear.
How sappy and superficial it’s portrayed in media.
How it endures.
How much work it takes.
How its lack destroys children.
How little Hallmark knows about it.
How its appreciation sometimes comes too late.
How empty life is without it.
How pure it is in its motives.
How it’s always tested.
How words are not enough.
How it’s not about you.
How it’s the core message of all the great teachers.
How it can be seen in little things.
How much we need it.
