Love

The wise are wise only because they love. And the foolish are foolish only because they think they can understand love.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to strech out a hand and pluck the fruit from the tree of life.We have to take love wherever we find it, even if that means hours, day weeks of disappointment and sadness.
The Moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us........And to save us.
