But one of the attributes of love, like art, is to bring harmony and order out of chaos. —Molly Haskell—
The offer of love to the person sharing this time in our lives softens them, ourselves, and the events we share. Giving and receiving loving thoughts eases any momentary difficulty; loving and feeling loved reminds us that we are never alone in our struggles. In partnership we can survive any troubling circumstance.
Love of self, of family, of enemies, increases the harmonious conditions that affect us all. Like the ripples dropped in a stream, the act of loving moves beyond the object receiving the love at this moment. In fact, the love we give is the love we’ll receive.
It is a demonstrable fact the hatred breeds hatred. Just as absolute is the knowledge that the love we offer another makes easier their gift of love to yet another. Love multiplies itself and the harmony created nurtures us all.
Love makes partners of us all. No circumstances can fell me when I’m in the company with another. I will look among my associates today for willing partners.
