Love

It comes in many varieties. Kind of like coffee. Some is strong and addicting. Some is light and sweet. Than there is the medium in how it gets from the pot to your lips. Is it delivered like a strong Italian espresso? Or a big ole cup, American style?
Love brings vulnerability. This isn't a bad thing...only if it blinds you. It brings out the child-like inquisitiveness that we have tucked away for safe keeping. The curiosity that helps you learn. It allows you the freedom with the safety of support to break down your borders, to open the windows and let what someone else has to offer in. It provides reason and life to your spirit. Love tests your resilience, your love for your own self. It is your dreams come true, it is the worst pain you can ever feel. It is magic. There is the love you have for family, friends, pets and lovers. These all provide various levels of nutrients, and we need them all. Nothing beats the love that you must have for yourself. Without it there is nothing to give. The love you share with yourself is the source of the love you share with others. Never stop learning, never stop loving.
