Returning to the Land of Love: Finding Hope, Love, and Courage on Your Yellow Brick Road

In the charming film, Don Juan de Marco, Johnny Depp told Marlon Brando that there are only four questions of value to ask: What is sacred? Of what is the Spirit made? What is worth living for? What is worth dying for? He then said that the answer to each question is the same....love!

Nothing in life is more important than love. To love another is one of the greatest experiences in life and to be loved in return with equal passion is a miracle to be cherished. Love is essential to life. Love is life. Love shines as the subject of poets, the music of composers, and the lyrics of song writers. Once we are touched by the magic of love we are never quite the same. Once we taste the nectar of love we are not satisfied with anything less. Love transforms the ordinary and simple things we do together into extraordinary experiences.

Love has many dimentions: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. These dimensions represent the ways we talk to each other; the ways we express our feelings; the ways we touch and caress; and the ways we meditate, pray, and walk to God together. All four play essential parts in the passion and grandeur of love's continual expression and evolution.
