Love - comes in many sizes, shapes, colours and prices.
How to take an inventory of love?
Some people worry about big things, things over which we have no control. I would encourage these people to deal with what is on the shelf of daily life.
The bigger picture can easily overwhelm. Even something as wondrous as love can assume proportions that are not human. And then it is no longer love. Love should encourage us to embrace the daily-ness of life. Whatever so distracts us from seeing and loving the "stock" of the daily is harmful. It puts our hopes for life elsewhere - in some far aisle we will never reach.
What is love? Is it as simple as being supportive of each other as best we can? Love is such a deep need of the human heart and yet we live our days muddling through all these little things, counting pots and telling each other that things will work out. Maybe that is one of the reasons I love this life - we are here, have each other, and do the best we can with the little time we have. No miracles, no heavy-duty love, just ordinary stuff like pots, friends, bread and wine.
