Loving without fear & trepidation.

I’m a philosophical being. I suppose that makes me a philosopher. Granted, an amateur. But nevertheless, a philosopher. My dictionary defines philosophy as the pursuit of wisdom. And a search for general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means. That’s me, all right. But I suspect I’m just as observational as I am speculative. I see what’s going on around me. In my immediate environs. And I often give it interpretation. But I’ve noticed one thing about myself. I reach the point where I quit speculating. About this notion of love, for instance. I just go ahead. Without fear and trepidation. And live as a lover. –Jim Broede
