I wish I would knowed more people.  If I would knowed more, I woulda loved more.

 - Toni Morrison, from the book "Beloved"

We have an unlimited capacity to love.  Actually loving is not something we do to or for other people.  It is a blessing, a gift we give to ourselves.  Love opens us to endless possibilities.  It increases our resources and our capacity to give.  Love fine-tunes our vibrational frequency, which enables us to create.  Love keeps us alive long after we have departed and gives meaning to who we are, what we do and how we do it.  The only thing that limits our capacity to love are the conditions we place on loving.  When love is based on what we get or how we get it, our love ability is stunted.  When we love under circumstances rather than in spite of them, our love is limited.  When we love what was rather than what is, we have no real idea what love is about.  When we love just for the sake of it, giving who we are without excuses or apologies, taking what comes and making the best of it, we open our souls to the abundant blessings of the strongest forces of life.

Today I will pour love into everyone and into everything.
