Then...love.

To quote the advertising team for the Nike corporation, "just do it."

Yep, simple as that.

It's an activity. You "do" it; it doesn't finally arrive in the mail one day having circumnavigated the globe with a mistaken zip code. And it's not what you find when you go "out" looking for it. Sure, there are the happy accidents that cause us to stumble upon it, but even then, it becomes an action, an activity immediately, doesn't it.

Start with yourself. Hardly an original thought, that, why it even sounds lke a Hallmark greeting card sentiment. Try it. Do the kindest thing you can think of for yourself, and dare to receive it as well as give it to yourself. Scoff, laugh, sure, i know how it is; but try it.

Who is near you? Love them. Love your cat, your gold fish, or your parakeet. Do one loving thing for one person today. Crack that thing open that holds it in, it doesn't serve you.

Love attracts love. The more you love, the more love you have. The fear of it crumbles in the act of it.

I'm drowning in the stuff. But I give it away like my life depended on it. It does. What is life without it? It's the only way I know now, because it's better than anything else. Taste it and see.

So if it's love you want, then love. Just do it. It's that simple.
