Love waxes and wanes with the seasons, with our hormones, and our circumstances, but love of the heart and soul must be constantly nourished and tended. Patience gives us hope for the future; gentleness gives us grace in the moment; kindness dissolves the wounds of the past. Be patient and gentle and kind, and the love you hold as a treasure now will beautifully flourish and last.
— Daphne Rose Kingma, The Book of Love
