"I Love" ... by Steve Bearman

[Welles]

If you only read one thing from this forum today... let it be this one. 

"I love.

I wish I could say that I love you, but the truth is that I just ‘love’ and you happened to get in the way.

Now, most people would take offense at this, tell me how impersonal it feels, how if I just love everybody because they happen to be there, then my love for any particular person is not special.

But you are special before I love you.

You are special even if I do not love you.

You are unique, and I am unique, and therefore the love we share is unique."

Hello Welles,
I read this yesterday just before having to dash off for a train with George in tow. it was an important appointment with his vascular surgeon and we arrived to good news. So all is well on G's vascular front... But that is straying from the point of my post. I just wanted you to know that I throughly appreciated the thought expressed in the above essay. It truly is a reasoning I've not come across before and is extremely helpful in contemplating love. Brilliant!
Thank you for sharing it and giving me something soul nurturing to consider as I traveled.
Hope you have a wonderful week end over there.
Love,
Sandy
