I Believe in Love...

Love...so many ways to think about love. So many meanings to love. So many ways to love and be loved. Every moment a time to consider how we can be open to love and act in love.

With Valentine's Day coming and hardly avoidable if you walk outside or tune into any sort of media, there's all kinds of heartache and romance, cheesy gestures of interest and grandiose expressions of devotion. However you experience the 'holiday', there certainly seems to be an inexhaustibleness to the vastness of love itself. The depth and breath of discovery and possibility for LOVE, itself, must be endless. Love...expressed in kindness, friendship, hopeful responsibility for humankind, compassionate action toward a fellow traveler..Love is what transforms our lives and heals our world.

There are also many ways to sing this song, written by Jonathan Larson. It's originally part of a musical (RENT) and sung in chorus by about a dozen people it seems. So here's a raw take on the five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes that we all have in a year to speak love, receive love, open ourselves to love, grow love, do love, be love....

Enjoy and take care in this crazy month of February.

Beneath the blue. Beneath the gray. Through the calm and in the fray, may all seasons be...
