Occasions To Love

If someone loves you, one of the ways that you can give them delight is to give them an occasion to love on you, or help you in some way.  If you happen to love someone don't you get some delight in exercising your love for them in some tangible way?  It is not always about giving someone "things."  Simply let people who love you know that you are not completely self-sufficient.  Let them know when you are feeling a bit more alone than you would like.  Or just invite them to spend some time with you, since they do love you.  Love is action.  It is a verb, so it needs opportunities to be of service, to love, to connect.  Some people ask me from time to time why I live in Boulder or spend so much time at a monastery in Snowmass.  Duh!  Love. I get to give and receive.  Mostly, I receive. Don't be alone on Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.  Let someone love on you, maybe anonymously.  I will be at a gathering of people, giving and receiving love.
