Love is but the discovery of ourselves in
others, and the delight in the recognition.

that which we most believe.

Relationships–of all kinds–are
like sand held in your hand.
Held loosely, with an open hand,
the sand remains where it is.
The minute you close your hand
and squeeze tightly to hold on, the
sand trickles through your fingers.
You may hold onto some of it, but
most will be spilled. A relationship is
like that. Held loosely, with respect
and freedom for the other person,
it is likely to remain intact. But
hold too tightly, too possessively, and
the relationship slips away and is lost.

Spread love everywhere you go first
of all in your own house. Give love to
your children, to your wife or husband,
to a next door neighbor… Let no one ever
come to you without leaving better and
happier. Be the living expression of God’s
kindness; kindness in your face, kindness
in your eyes, kindness in your smile,
kindness in your warm greeting.
