“Love is.  It teaches by being what it is.  It does not do anything.  It does not strive.  It neither succeeds nor fails.  It is neither alive nor dead.  And thus it always was and always will be.  It is not particular to you as human beings.  It IS in relationship to everything.  All to All.”  Mari Perron
