Love

There is no love apart from the deeds of love;
no potentiality of love but that which is manifested in loving.
-- Jean-Paul Sartre
Love is not something that is bestowed on me.
I can create it, everyday.
It grows in me as I take actions that affirm myrespect and caring for others and myself.
Love is not limited to romantic encounters, but extends to my daily relationships with other people, including my friends and members of my community.
Love is not in scarce supply.
My acts of kindness and service and my practice of genuine tolerance renew love in the world and in my heart.
