"Love is indeed a most powerful force"

Love is indeed a most powerful force. It can take us to great heights and leave us light and airy. True love is based on understanding, mutual trust and respect not simply on emotions. Love is selflessness.

We must allow our love to flow out and around us. By allowing our love to flow, we become moistened and remain forever fresh, attractive and healthy. Without love, all of lifes treasures are locked away from our vision and experiences, for indeed Love is the Key.

Every situation in life must be faced, and so why not face it with love? Happiness is lost when any thought of envy or hatred creeps in. Thoughts of love and good wishes cure sorrow.

In a bitter world, one drop of true love is an ocean in the desert. Love is a great power, but it takes power to have pure love.
