I take time to become a lover.

My salvation is love. That's the one thing that pulls me through life. Makes me happy. I detest much of what's going on. In society. In the world. But ultimately, I fall in love. With somebody. With something. With life. Really, that's all I need to survive. Interludes of love. Love relieves me of sadness. Makes me feel wonderful. Elated. Thankful that I'm an alive and conscious being. I'm constantly in pursuit of love. Even when I reflect on the gawd-awfulness I see in society and in the world. But there's also the opportunity for love to offset all the badness. I have people I can connect to. People that I love. That reminds me that all is not hopeless. I take time to become a lover. --Jim Broede
