love can be mended, always mended

"love is like a bowl

so when you break it

glue it together

if it won’t hold water

fill it with apples”

This is one of my favorite quotes. My favorite song about love in marriage is “Funny Valentine.”

Perfection, for me, is the enemy of love. But once we break our perfect image, we find another use for the thing we have. So much of love is being willing to glue it back together when we break it.

I often say that love is loyalty. So much of love is waking up every day and deciding to love.

I wonder if I woke up today deciding to love.
