Love

    Love is the ultimate human quest. Who do you love? What do you mean by love? Few words are more used or abused than love. Love is the name we give to the nameless, the shape we give to the shapeless, the universal heart with many faces. The seeds of love are scattered far and wide, falling even in the darkest, most desolate places. None of us are strangers to love. We have all wandered through love’s territory, seeking refuge from life’s harsh extremes. Some have found places to settle, while others continue their restless search. Love is an oasis in the desert of uncaring, a wellspring where we quench our thirst for belonging.
