You are reading from the book Today's Gift

One cricket said to another - come, let us be ridiculous, and say love!
—Conrad Aiken

Let's all sit in a circle and take turns being ridiculous about what our love is like. Let's play tag with it, and pass it on. Let's say that our love is like diamonds sprinkled on a clear moonless sky, and let's pass it on. Let's say it's like one rose petal too tender to touch, and let's pass it on. Let's say it's like rainbows filling a city sky, and pass it on. Let's say it's small and hard, like an agate or shell, and let's keep passing it on.

We can find images for love all around us, and when we express it to others this way, it grows.

What is my love like today?

At the moment slightly lacking. Because of my pain today, don't have too much for myself either. But as the saying goes, "This too shall pass."
