Life is short...sometimes too short!
Most of us do not want to think of our own imortality but from time to time things come up and we find the very subject monopolizing our conscious thoughts.
We write wills. We talk about how we want our crap distributed. We plan elaborate ceremonies so people can come pay homage to the person that no longer is. We throw a granite marker to remind people if our existence.
What if we left our marker by loving like there is no tomorrow? What if we loved without fear of rejection? What if we lived life trying to love those society wrote off? We are afraid to love. When we love we become vunerable. When we become vunerable we may get hurt. It is at that point we really love. The very moment we experience pain is the moment we learn to love.
Love can do some amazing things. It will cause a man to give the shirt off his back. A woman will endure hours of pain in order to bring a new life into this world. Love causes us to do crazy things too.
The most amazing thing love has done was held a man to a tree. At anytime this man could have come down. But, because of the tremendous love he had he endured. He loved like there was no tomorrow.
