It is Life that we experience as soon as we are thrown through the open door of our mother’s womb.  It greets us with mystery and magic and leads us down roads and paths of divergent nature, leaving us sometimes stranded and lost while other times leading us through myriad moments of wonder and awe.  It is a journey unrelenting and promises only that it promises nothing.  It is exuberant, it is joy, it is suffering, it is pleasure, it is sorrow and it is work.  It is also Love. 

And it is Love that is at the root of Life.  It is color and texture.  It is line and curve.  It is beginning and it is end.  It is giving and it is receiving.  It is with and without.  It is abundance and it is lack.  It is happiness and it is sorrow.  Love escapes nothing.  It gives everything.  It is what we are.  It is what we become.  It is what we forget and it is what we remember.  Love is Creation.  It is a gift.  It is omnipresent.  It is who we are.  It is who you are. 

Each time it is shared, it becomes.  Each time it is lived, it expands.   Each time it is held back, it withers.  Sharing, caring, loving and accepting are aspects of Love.  Each act of kindness we gift to another nurtures Creation and the whole of mankind.   One cannot touch another with Love that one doesn’t touch one’s self.
