Loving

"A loving heart is the truest wisdom," Charles Dickens.

I love the wisdom of significant souls who have preceded us in history. I just read some words of Chris Michels which state that our human relationships prepare us to be better humans by stretching our learning in tolerance, compassion and acceptance. Certainly dementia caregiving can stretch us in those areas, and others as well, such as: patience (a personal growth opportunity). Relationships provide us with opportunities to test the limits and depth of love and to become more evolved as humans. I have a dear friend who has said that sainthood or fully evolved souls can only happen in relationship. Relationships certainly hasten the process along. So, today can we be more open to giving and receiving love in relationships? I think we can.
