Three Little Words

The Iloveyous of the world should not be little - they are GIGANTIC! The simple 4-letter word - l o v e - is infused with so much - longing, healing, giving - it is simply too big for its simplicity. Finding the balance for love is a highwire act with not only no net but no firm earth at all underneath - the heart is exposed, available for trampling or cracking or exploding. Opening one's heart is allowing everything in - the hurt, the sadness, the ecstasy, the peace. This comes as no startling news, I understand, but love is always a headline, or at least it should be.
