Share In Their Joy

"That moment when it hits you that your life won't last forever and you think about the people you love deeply and thinking about it aches, and you don't know if it's because sometimes you love people so much it hurts, or because you wonder if you missed opportunities to love them, or could have loved them better, and you are reminded once again that there is nothing more important than love.

The greatest single need and desire of humankind is love. To love is the greatest power and freedom we possess. Every thought, word, and action motivated by love, changes the world. Love is the highest expression of what it means to be human. The chief characteristic of true enlightenment is love.

The best I know to say is don't leave love undone. There may be things you don't accomplish, attain, or achieve in this world. But don't let shrinking back from love be one of them. If you're fortunate, you discover that love is the only thing that really matters, love heals everything, and love is all there is. On your way out of this world you'll look back and see it was always about that....

It was always love.  – J. Palmer

An amazing day with our beloved, more seasoned cousins. Singing, dancing, a meal shared.

Time spent hearing their remarkable journey through the apartheid years and feeling their resilience and their determination to love without condition. We ended our day at the TLC orphanage. Being able to share in their joy for an unexpected toy, or a new tee shirt, makes it all very much worthwhile. I can only hope that "on our way out of this world, we can look back and see that it was always about love."
