The following had much to say to me today. I hope the same for you. It’s from an article by Paul Ford:
“I am often consumed with a sense of overwhelming love and empathy. I look at the other person and am overwhelmed with joy.
This is not a world where you can simply express love for other people, where you can praise them. Perhaps it should be. But it’s not. I’ve found that people will fear your enthusiasm and warmth, and wait to hear the price. Which is fair, we’ve all been drawn into someone’s love only to find out that we couldn’t afford it.”
