Psychologists talk about “love languages” that help couples to connect in the ways that are most meaningful to each person. But our love reaches out so much further than to our partners or our immediate families.
How do you express your love for the world?
“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
― Shel Silverstein

Where do you turn to get a broader view of the world?
We all have moments of feeling abandoned, dropped unwanted by the side of the road. In those moments it is good to remember that we also all have times of wild abandon, when we are centered in our own joy and don’t care what anyone thinks.
How do you experience being on your own?
Sometimes the best way forward is to stop for the moment and rest in the support of a loving presence—or the eternal presence of Love.
Where do you turn for support?
