With love comes promises of
sentiment as rapturous as
fall's splendor of color and
as delicate as a crystal of snow.
Love empowers us to handle
the struggles that bind us, the struggles
that stretch us to grow.
The familiar sights and
muffled sounds of each moment
vibrate with greater
intensity when we're giving and receiving love.
We're deluded to think
the love of others will complete us, so we strive for it;
we long for it. But we
receive love only when we're unselfishly offering it.
It is one of life's wonderful
mysteries that we must first give love away if we hope to get it.
Loving
another tests our patience, strength, and security.
Love spurned is dreaded and
perhaps too familiar,
but we must risk it once
again if we are to find the love we deserve.
The gifts of love are many
and guaranteed when the act of love is honest,
unselfish, whole, and
unconditionally offered.
