If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
`I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way
Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease

I didn’t make it home for the 2010 holiday season. Naturally, I was pretty bummed then I had a pretty sweet Christmas and peaceful New Year’s Eve.

Love Exist in The Moment - Photo and Poetry by Lisa Thomas

Love emerges from the shadows
Flowing, floating in the wind,
In the moment, it is created.

WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER!
We all need a community to share our beliefs, our hopes, heart hurts and ideas.
We all need a shoulder or a hand given freely when needed. We all need each
other. We need to rock the boat and make some waves and cause others to think. We need to shake it

A biblical message of love says
Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not envy
It does not boast
It’s not proud,
And I’d add
Love isn’t a matter of convenience but one of conviction…
