Living Well

Love is generous, expansive,
never stingy or possessive.
To truly love another, one
must embrace the total of
that person. Just like you,
he or she is complex,
contradictory, needing love
and compassion. Love is accepting
that person exactly as they
are, no changes required.
Love is.

How will you meet your tomorrow,
with legs a tremble, or will you
step forward with the conviction that
life is exciting, an adventure of
epic proportion?

Consider how you feel about change, an
inevitable aspect of living. It reflects
a lot on how you conduct your life.
Fear based decisions keep us tied;
eagerly facing new experiences keeps
us energized and looking forward to each day.

Meet your tomorrow with optimism and you
will receive that which you seek.

Half-mast eye lids; the
unseeing gaze of death
matches your cold heart.
Why do you turn from me
when I declare my love
for you? Is it such a
valueless trifle? Oh,
mirror, you wound my soul.

Home is not where you were born
but rather where you are wanted.
How is it that many families are
disconnected either by distance
or will? The breakdown of the family
is a serious signal of a culture in crisis.

If you are one of the millions of
people whose family is unavailable
one way or another, while it is a
significant loss, it need not be fatal.

First, examine your own life to
see how you have contributed to
family separation. Failure to do
this may result in you repeating the
same behavior with a second family.
Next, you must pay attention to your
relationships. A garden unwatered does
not bear fruit. Relationships need
need nurturing. A friend is not a
book you take off the shelf and read
when you feel like it. To be close to
other people takes loving presence.
It requires involvement, sharing, caring.
