"love is a doing word"

Constantly learning. I picked up a book titled love is a verb, I have been saying "love is a verb" or "love is a doing word" for a while now these statements taken from quotes i came across in high school but have never forgotten although those whose text it is I've long forgotten. This book is a collection of stories on various situations that were touched and changed by love, the back of the book reads: "Be Inspired by Lives Changed By Love". I am in a space of learning with each story told. I am realising that some things require us to keep an open mind and to be willing to learn the lessons even after we, ourselves have made the mistakes or are not in the wrong this time. When we choose to love someone, we take a risk and step out in faith of how it all may turn out, love is much like experience in that it too teaches the lessons after one has made the mistakes or taken action. The Book I'm reading is by Gary Chapman, a find i have come to cherish from a sale at a book store.

To say I love you is far easier than to do the actions required to show one fully does and is not merely uttering words in a corner to be left forgotten as time goes by. Loving someone is a process where one first commits their heart to engage and all other things follow, it can be an up or a down hill experience best cohesively joined by the decision of both parties to tackle it together. We journey as individuals yet when we love we are no longer one person but a unit that needs to consider each other's needs within the confines of self. Loves says we should compromise not just one person but both parties involved bound by it. Love is patient and kind and many other things that it comes to find across it's path yet the one thing we forget is that it too can tire once it's stretched to it's limits. 

I say fall in love and be what comes after good or bad is always a blessing for nothing remains in darkness forever,  I found this quote on a friend's fb stat (facebook status update) once and it stuck, it reads: " In Darkness, Light does not follow.. It Leads." - Hue

let's spread love and light and all good things...
