Love
Love is a million star-bursts, rather than one gigantic radiant sun. Love is a multitude of flower blooms, rather than a towering ancient oak tree. If we become obsessed with the myth of ‘one true love’, we risk missing the countless expressions of love. Just like the metaphor of the many names and many faces of God, love manifests in an infinite number of ways. Love is not a holy grail. Rather it is a realisation of the goodness in connecting with others on a variety of levels. It is a feeling of affection – almost literally a warm glow – when we think of someone we have shared some part of our life with. Love is appreciating the worth of another.
— Wayne Visser
