I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,

to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,

more accessible;

to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing,

a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance,

to live so that which came to me as seed

goes to the next as blossom,

and that which came to me as blossom,

goes on as fruit.

- Dawna Markova

I was in a maze, sticking to `I' and `mine'; 

I wandered without knowing my Self. 

On realising my Self I understand that 

I myself am You and that `mine' is only You. 

~ Saint Nammalvar

All of psychological theory is based on defining love and identifying what is going right or wrong. Each religion is a model of love, infused with cultural differences. Even biological models incorporate touch, intimacy, trust, and natural rhythms in discussions of reproduction, survival, and humanity's ultimate success.

What is there not to Love? ♥
