For Love's Sake....

The most satisfing joy in all the world is in having a person dearer to you than your own self,a person with whom you feel free to pour out and share your every thought,your every grief and your every joy;for it is with that person you feel a deep unity of spirits.
This is love.
For: Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

What inspiration, what strength, what buoyancy, it gives to know that if all the rest of the world should turm against you, rend you and forsake you,there is one person who will never wrong you by an unjust thought or unkind word or unmerciful deed, one person who will cling to you in poverty and in persecution, in disaster and in death, one person who will sacifice all things for you and for whom you will sacrifice all things, even life. This person's wefare is your greatest concern. And it is with this person you expect never to be separated except by death.This is companionate love.
