When you spread love you are as the rain,
nurturing and replenishing.
As you send out loving thoughts
and are prompted to perform loving actions
you are helping to set conditions for growth.
Love is forgiving, patient and charitable.
Love can restore, refresh and revitalize
both the giver and the receiver.
Love gives strength and power to the weak,
and hope to the hopeless.
As we love we become more beautiful
and those we love take on loveliness,
a magnificence.
Loving others and demonstrating it
is a form of nurturing,
a form of support which sustains,
maintains and buoys up.
Love therefore becomes
a gift we give and receive simultaneously.
