Love

Google defines "love" as a strong positive emotion of regard and affection...the unifying agent of universal design.

Love has spun the world all over, orchestrated great wars, built lasting homes, and destroyed great men. It is so powerful an emotion that nothing can stand before it.

Yes, love can be like that. That's why, we often seek to experience it, to immerse in its joy and warmth. We even keep mementos of it just so to be rekindled one day, when all hope is lost and life is gray.

It's like the love note I keep in my mobile phone's Inbox. It is a message I often read and run to for consolation and affirmation...to remind me that I am loved on days when the world is harsh and insensitive.

I read it on days when I'm down and lost. I hang on to it on days when I need a pat on the back to keep on moving with my life.

If only the sender would know how much strength and hope I draw from his simple confession of love.
