Love, Love, Love

Love is a verb.
— Clare Boothe Luce

"Love is a verb and, to quote the Beatles, love is all you need. When we have enough love, we have enough of everything else. And the commodity of love has its own wonderful rules: it can't be diminished by giving it away; it provides a high return of investment; it increases exponentially when shared freely.


"When we love, we create. When we love, we work hard. When we love, we appreciate. When we love, we grant freedom. When we love, we understand. When we love, we renew that which we love and we rejuvenate ourselves.


"An active verb, loving must be done and redone, over and over, day after day and year after year. There is no finish line and no high-water mark for loving. This can feel daunting in those inevitable moments when it's hard to flow love to something that doesn't seem to deserve it, or to someone who's making us miserable. But even those moments are part of the blessing of love — loving can transform the thing we love, and it can transform our own hearts. Love is never wasted, and can never be undone. Loving more than you ever thought possible will open the door to even more loving. What a gift."
