Yesterday in music class, Frank told the group in adult day program that we are all capable of something. We are all capable of giving love. Sometimes it is hard to love, but it is something that we all can offer and give.
I looked at the people around me, their idiosyncrasies, fixations and disabilities visible and invisible, but also at the concern that they share for each others, the smiles, the offer of cookies, lotion, the gentle hand rub and smile from a non-verbal man, and the sweet compliments.
We are all capable of love. We are all capable of giving love.
I admit that there are some people that have been in my life that I question whether they understand what it is to love, how to show love, how to feel love, how to live love. I don't know how it happened, how they lost sight of the beauty of loving a person, or even that this is the most important thing in life. Self protection? Insecurity? Money Cravings?
Others of us can feel like we're struggling and trying to find our way. What gifts are ours to share with the world? Well, we can love. We can all practice love, and giving love is an incredible gift that we should not think of as anything less than divine.
