A friend of mine, Jeannie Harper, posted this on Facebook today... It is such a good reminder of what true love is about, that I am re-posting it here. Thank you Jeannie!!
"Is it possible for the rose to say, 'I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?'
Or is it possible for the lamp to say, 'I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people?'
Or can a tree say, 'I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad?'
These are images of what love is about."
~Anthony de Mello, Jesuit Priest (1931 - 1987)
