For the grasping. For the taking.

So, what have you been doing today? Anything special? I always think there's something special one can do every day. Something different and special. Such as having a special thought. An extraordinarily loving thought. Unless one is bored. Then one becomes bogged down. In boredom. And that's a waste of the day. Used to be that I had days in which I went through the motion of living. I couldn't even remember what I did. But that was long ago. Before I became alive. And conscious. Maybe I became fully conscious the first time I fell in love. Wow! That's stimulation. I discovered I wanted to be in love all of the time. And so I have. More or less. And mostly more. That's been the greatest pursuit and endeavor of my life. Love. When I was a youngster, I didn't think much of love. It was an abstract concept. Too complex for me to understand. But now that I'm older, it seems so simple. Love is there. For the grasping. For the taking. --Jim Broede
