Real love

"In real love we can hardly distinguish giving from getting: each is indistinguishably both. The lover's giving is his getting: that his gift should be lovingly accepted is itself a gift to him, and the gift he values most."

--Reverend Gerald Vann, O.P. in The Heart of Man

    I loved the feel of this post, it made me feel like I should cherish life so much more than I already am...
