Rededication

Give yourself to love
if love is what you're after.

Easier said than done.
I give in, give myself
to relaxation, obligation,
worry, anger,compulsion,
enjoyment, despair, hope.

Each time, I try again
to give myself to love
because love is what I'm after.

    Excellent take-off from a song, Victoria! Love is indeed so complex and we are fortunate to have many chances to love. Write on!

    The greatest of these is love, but oh what a challenge, mystery, paradox it can be!

    a song shared by everyone on the planet, i believe! love is definitely worth dedicating oneself to over and over and over.

    To hate is easier than to love!

    This one hits home for me, Victoria. Giving ourselves over to love is a hard thing but the payoffs are huge.
