Yet, how many of us actually love ourselves that way? The dreams and desires of a young heart are tempered by age and real experience, and mature into reasonable expectations over time. However, the energy, innate joy and resilience of a young heart are present and boundless, at whatever age, in the presence of an honest, unconditional love! Love is looking into eyes that can move you enough to make you forget where you are or what you were talking about, only to be re-awakened by the embers of passion that have just been stirred, deep within you. Love is: A shelter from which to draw security, a well from which to draw sustenance, a power base from which to draw strength, and a solid emotional plateau from which to soar! The Newlywed Toast: Grow your love in the garden of friendship. Keep it fertile with passion, empathy, compassion and intimacy. Over time, as the roots of your hearts become entangled as one, your love will grow one of the sweetest fruits known to humanity; spending your life loving, and in love with, your best friend. Only through a deep, authentic love can you know the emotional honor and beauty of two hearts, minds and spirits interacting on so many levels of comfort and freedom. This blessed "dance of hearts" is real love; one of the greatest, yet all too rare gifts of humanity that allows you the privilege of shining your heart through your eyes and kissing with your soul. You don't need to make love to make love. Intimacy is but one facet of a complex relationship, where two people make love continuously. Even when far apart, this loving connection, this multifaceted melding of two hearts, minds, bodies and spirits is no less palpable because it is still being enjoyed on many levels of mental, physical and emotional energy and expression.
