Above all - love

Some words of wisdom on why we need not only to be loved but to love.

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
- C.S. Lewis

Dare to unlock love. Invite your neighbor for lunch, make time to phone that person, share your heart with friends and family around you. Above all - love.
