Love is one of those words that can be used very, very imprecisely. For example, look at the slogan: "Love - it's what makes a Subaru a Subaru." Need I say more?

Often people are unaware of the powerful healing force of love. Even when they are loved, they may not be able to receive the love, benefit from it or even acknowledge that it exists. Imagine a hungry person sitting down to a meal that they believe is constructed of styrofoam when it is actually tasty and nourishing food.

I have come to the conclusion that supporting people's efforts to grow and understand and trust in love may be at the heart of most people's practice. It is surely at the heart of mine.
