Two people falling in love is a powerful emotional event. That it happens to both lovers at the same time intensifies the sense of delight.  There is a thrill of newness and a sense of wonder as if the two lovers have entered in a new reality...

                         
- Ed Wheat
When we have been in love
for many years,
I hope we'll spend Saturday mornings
sitting in the sunshine...
Holding hands when
we go for a walk...
Lying barefoot in the grass
when night falls
Listening to the crickets sing
and watching the stars twinkle
in the deep blue sky...
Knowing we have a love
that will last forever.


                      
-Beth Swanson

The beach house...
was designed so that in a bad storm
  the ocean could have a way
   to rush through it
    without doing any major damage...
its beaty is in its durability
and its durability comes
not from offering resistance to the power
   of the ocean
but in finding a way for the water to pass
   through
   thereby saving it
   and letting it stand strong.

Courage is not the absence of fear
and pain, but the affirmation of life
despite fear and pain.

             
- Rabbi Earl Grollman
    Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.  If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

              
- Song of songs  8:7
   Love's sweetest adventure is the one we will share tomorrow!

                    
- Beth Swanson
  To love is to risk losing. To lose is to risk  finding something new.  The cycle of the heart: birth, death, rebirth.  Therefore, before my heart turns to stone, I will re-enter the cycle, and make up my mind again to risk living.
    The truth that transcends our deepest sorrows is not the good that comes from the bad things that happen, but the good that continues, and even is revealed, despite them...
