Love is so much more than a feeling. Love is a way of living. An act of walking through life with open eyes, paying attention to all those little things that fill our world with beauty and grace. 

Love is intentional. It asks of us to put our guard down, to be touched and moved by all the small gestures and encounters we experience. To let them humble us. 

Love asks of us to see and welcome others for what they are - not what we want them to be. Love means to see ourselves in them - and them in us. 

Love expresses in the way we respond to the unavoidable moments of pain, disappointment, grief and suffering life will present us with. 

Love is intent put into action.

Love is trusting the process.

Love is letting go.

Love is embracing change and loss.

Love is surrender. 

Love is hope.

Love is courage.

Love is plunging into uncertainty.

Love is a path we choose to follow. Its light guiding us in our decisions and actions. Even through the darkest places. There will always be a flicker if we dare look closely…
