We've all experienced love of one kind or another. The love of our parents, the love of our family, the love of our friends, the love of our partner, the love of a teacher. It can be expressed through a tender touch, a caring look, a gentle hug, a listening ear, or simply knowing that someone is there for you, no matter what. Love can feel amazing, full of patience, and helpfulness, and great conversation, and flirting, and sweet smiles, and thoughtful, random acts of kindness. Love can never hurt, unless a heart is broken, feeling a lack of love. Love is there for each of us, with the greatest power of all, God or Goddess, loving our very being no matter how much we mess up or feel messed up. Love is amazing. I teach my students that when they feel angry or upset or sad or angry toward another student, that the reality is they are simply feeling the lack of love. And, since love is the only reality, that it is the most important thing, so to forgive, let go, or move on takes us closer to love again. Look around you. Love truly is everywhere.
These pictures portray love. Nature, people, animals, they all speak to us of love. To feel love is to also feel gratitude to God/Goddess for that love, that beauty, that random act of kindness.
