If I were to choose one safe path to last me into forever, to lead me safely through this world, it would be the path of love. To love another, I first create that feeling within me (love doesn’t come from nowhere). When I direct it outward, I generate it within me. I am at once the recipient and the sender, the giver and the receiver. Loving another allows me to love myself. It puts me in the space or path of love, it envelops me with the experience of love. Human love is the
expression of soul on earth. It is the force that moves mountains, that turns plain and simple living into something noble and majestic. Love can make a pauper feel like a prince; lack of love can make a prince feel like a pauper. It is love that makes the difference between life feeling precious and valuable or worthless. I will get further in life by loving what I have than by looking forever elsewhere for meaning.

I will love what is near to me.

Love has power that dispels Death; Charm that conquers the enemy.
Kahlil Gibran
