Your Reason for Living

 "To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence for God is love."  

~Thomas Merton

What's left with you?

 "Love is what's left in a relationship after all the selfishness has been removed."

~Cullen Hightower

Separated Reunited -or - Separate Fused?

 Have you ever heard of Paul Tillich's definition of love?

"LOVE IS THE ONTOLOGICAL DRIVE TOWARD THE REUNION OF THE SEPARATED."

I had not.  What do you think?  Is it a bringing together of separated souls, or two souls coming together to forge a bond?

Interesting to ponder...

Giving + Receiving Love

 "When we say, "love is a gift," we are reminded that sometimes it is simply bestowed on us."

To Love and Be Loved

Love is a gift to give and receive.  Make sure you do both!

Defining and Measuring Love - Poverty or Richness of Love

 "In the final analysis, we do not define or measure love but are defined and measured by it."

"It is the poverty or richness of our love that defines our sense of what is real."

Unarmed truth + Unconditional love

 Martin Luther King, Jr. said:

"Unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality."

Let it be so.  Let it be.  

The Ideal is LOVE - for all of us!

 "Love is the ideal of all of us"

~Robert Solomon, The Passions
