THE POWER OF LOVE
2 IDEAS FROM ME
Love is the act of understanding, kindness, and compassion to create spiritual growth, peace, and life enhancing connections.
The most powerful thing you can do to love someone is to improve your own understanding of reality and love and help them do the same.

“The psychological equivalent of air is the human need to feel understood.” —Stephen Covey
“The woman speaks, ‘Will my mouth always be like this’, she asks. ‘Yes, I say, it will. It’s because the nerve was cut.’ She nods in silence. But the young man smiles. ‘I like it,’ he says. ‘It’s kind of cute.’ And all at once I know who he is. And unaware of my presence, I lower my gaze, for one is not bold in an encounter with the gods. And then he bends to kiss her crooked mouth, and I so close I can see how he twists his own lips to accommodate hers to show her that their kiss still works. And I remember that the gods appeared in ancient Greece as mortals, and I hold my breath and let the wonder in.” —Richard Selzer – (The Kiss – Mortal Lessons: Notes on the Art of Surgery)
