There are a zillion similar quotes that I won't try to look up or give credit to here today that express the following: In the midst of every adversity there is a seed, or a door to equal or greater opportunity. Therefore today I will not mention the late unpleasantness to besiege my loved ones and me, but will focus on the beautiful and wonderful aspects of life, such as this exquisite Puppy Love orchid pictured above, and the quotes on love below.
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
- Mother Teresa
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
- Leo Buscaglia
Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.
- Author unknown
And to think that God loves each of us so much as to manifest a sacrifice of Himself for us! While unworthy we think ourselves, He is seeing us as His greatest creation and worthy of all His love, despite our foibles, failings, and frailties. Even here, beneath the Carolina moon in the land of the strange, eccentric and exotic, all we are asked is to accept that love.
Why are we such stubborn children?
