"So we find love is many things,
though we know it's not a thing
in the sense that it cannot be bought
or sold or weighted or measured.
Love can only be given, expressed freely.
It cannot be captured or held,
for it's neither there to be tied nor to hold.
It's in everyone and everything in
varying degrees and awaits actualization.
It's not apart from the self.
Love and the self are one.
There are not kinds of love, love is love;
there are only degrees of love.
Love is trusting, accepting and believing,
without guarantee.
Love is patient and waits,
but it's active waiting, not a passive one.
For it is continually offering itself in
mutual revealing, a mutual sharing.
Love  is spontaneous and craves expression
through joy, through beauty, through truth,
even through tears.
Love live in the moment; it's lost in yesterday
nor does it crave tomorrow.
Love is Now!
L. Buscaglia

"Change involves three things:
First, a dissatisfaction with self -
a felt void or need;
second, a decision to change -
to fill a void or need;
and third a conscious dedication
to the process of growth
and change - the willful act of
making the change,
doing something.
