Love Lore

Here I am tugging on your sleeve again, asking you to pay attention to the possibility of love. I'm a bit early (or possibly late) for Valentine's day -- can you forgive me?

Important question, since so much of love is simply forgiving the other person for being who they are when they aren't frontin' ... forgiving them without *actually* forgiving them because, you know, ‘forgiving’ implies judgment. So I guess that's really what we call acceptance. Here is the person, here's what they feel, what they believe, the way they look and speak and act. You cool with that?

Deep Love, fine love
Shy love, suspicious love
Fleeting love, lasting love
Crazy love, long-distance love
Reluctant love, forgiving love
Cautious love that searches out the perfect moment
Fresh love, true love
Whispered love, silent love
Tender love, easy love
Trembling love, brutal love
Wise love, shameless love
Reckless love in a headlong rush to surrender

Every kind of love, some for each of us.
