A brother asked one of the elders, saying: There are two brothers, of whom one remains praying in his cell, fasting six days at a time and doing a great deal of penance. The other one takes care of the sick. Which one's work is more pleasing to God? The elder replied: If that brother who fasts six days at a time were to hang himself up by the nose, he could not equal the one who takes care of the sick.The Wisdom of the Desert
Love is an action verb--not a feeling or a thought or a being verb.
Decide to love. Choose it even when you don't feel like it. (Yes, I'm talking to myself again.)

That first sentence of yours (not the quote) is so grounding for me. Ahhh. Thank you.
Funny how much like forgiveness this feels. A choice. An action. Necessary.
