Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
--Kahlil Gibran

Love doesn't demand; love compromises. It doesn't possess; it frees. Love doesn't gloat; it praises. Love makes friends of strangers. It softens our rough edges and strengthens our assets. Knowing we're loved inspires us and invites forth our best effort. Offering our love humbles us and cultivates an inner joy.

Never, in the name of love, should we direct another person's life, but instead let's celebrate the choices made by someone dear, even when they run counter to our own desires. We are each blessed with a destiny, unique and necessary to the others in our lives. We must be allowed to travel our paths to fulfillment.

Let's free one another and know real love.

You and me both Tasha, ... True Love is THE solution to ALL of our problems the way I see it ... consider this, if the world ran on Love instead of a large amount of Hate and Anger, then we would be living in Paradise ... there would be no need for LAWS ... we would naturally want to treat each other respectfully and have no desire to harm one another ... we would seek to please our God(Higher Power) in everything we do ... in essence, it would be Heaven on earth ...

Great time of the year for this one to come up, don't you think ???


Pappy
