LOVE EQUATED 

WITH JOY, BUT .... 

Quote for Today - December 16, 2012

"I wonder why love is so often equated with joy when it is everything else as well. Devastation, balm, obsession, granting and receiving excessive value, and losing it again. It is recognition, often of what you are not but might be. It sears and it heals. It is beyond pity and above law. It can seem like truth."

Florida Scott-Maxwell, The Measure of My Days [1972]
