About Love

Fiercely hoping is almost all we can do, yes? The quest not to believe that we are in control continues. Because we truly aren't. I fiercely believe that fierce love also means to let go, to set free.  That means that we can focus (fiercely) on the present, not worry too much about the future (not even the future that is only minutes away from now) and do what the moment really asks for.  In my experience the moment almost always asks for a kind of assertiveness--often an assertion of love (a kiss, a hug, an "I love you"), a "yes" to the other person. Even if it is a "no" that "no" can come with a "yes, I do love you." As parents, spouses, friends, brothers and sisters there is hardly anything else we need to do to help fertilize the ground for those who are with us in the moment. More than anything else, knowing we are loved fiercely is what helps us grow.
