Love on Sunday
Growing up, Sunday was always our family’s day of reflection, rest and love. It was a lazy day that didn’t have any really objective other than togetherness. It is the same for my family these days. Every Sunday when I write to you, it will be a musing about the nature of love…My hope is that it will give you focus for the week and encourage contemplation about your own marriage, relationship, or desire for love.
Today’s thought: Love is something we do as part of our engagement in the world…
Love is not a solitary action. It is a way of connecting ourselves with another. We meet and feel attraction to someone. Attraction brings forth strong feelings. We’re not incapable of governing these strong feelings as some might suggest. We are not “falling in love” down a path with our eyes closed, enjoying the rush of emotion and feeling. Rather, we can assess and make choices and engaged participants in any new relationship/love.
Who is this person? Should we slow down based on what we know? Should we move forward? Is this good for me? Are my feelings valid and worthy of exploring? Are they genuine?
