A life of abiding love, deep peace, tangible happiness and absolute acceptance is not found in the oft sought-after fictional “unconditional love,” but rather the deeper “undoubted love.” The kind of love where friendship and gratitude, mutual values and loyalty are the cornerstones. To love and be loved, actively, daily, undoubtedly, is the seed, the roots, the stem, the bud, the blossom and the flower of true love.
On this day when love – the longing for it, the presence of it, the loss of it – is at the fore of many a person’s mind, it may be helpful to consider David Whyte’s suggestion that, “There is no path of love without having our hearts broken along the way, either through another’s agency or by arranging it so fastidiously for ourselves….and that the heartbreak is …an inescapable and often beautiful question,… asking us to be ready for the last letting go.”

Here is a glimpse of Life on Lancey Street:
