Loving Joy

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

I believe in love. I think it just hits you and pulls the rug out from underneath you and, like a baby, demands your attention every minute of the day.

Passion makes the world go 'round. Love just makes it a safer place.

There's all kinds of reasons that you fall in love with one person rather than another: Timing is important. Proximity is important. Mystery is important.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.

To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.
