Recognize Love

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.  
~Lao Tzu

Love.  The ideal of love commonly discussed is a feeling.  Feelings come and go, can vary in degree and are sometimes confusing.  The existence of love is different.  Love is a deep connection that goes beyond feelings.  Wether you realize it or not, it is there from the beginning.  Despite the day, the hour, the mood, it is always there.  Love is the underlying glue that holds us together.  To acknowledge the love of another gives you gift of insight to your strength.  To love another in return will inspire the courage to use your strength.  Be open.  Recognize love.
