“The love that gushes for all is the real elixir of life, the fountain of bodily longevity. It is the lack of this that always produces the feeling of age.”

-Josiah Gilbert Holland

It’s been a bit tricky to feel love for all these days.  But, it’s worth a try I think.  I think it works best if we can say, “Well I sure don’t love that guy but I’m willing to be willing to be willing to be willing to think about maybe loving him — in theory — someday.”  I think it’s that willingness that takes our hearts to places where our brains refuse to go.

I hope we have a great weekend, filled with love.

“You have love in your heart,” he told her.

“But with just love, what will I do?”

Here’s what she did.

“Maher means ‘Mother’s Home’ in Marathi. And she created the warmth of a mother’s home for the destitute, homeless, children as well as women. That seed has become a big tree today and all of us can partake of its shade but behind it lies such small stories of deep transformation.”  -Sachi Maniar from Sister Lucy the Mother Teresa of Pune
