Embrace Love

Perhaps truer words have never been spoken: "If its mechanical it will break, if it's animal it will die while every thing else will change." Unknown

I have journeyed long enough to have my expectation of quality workmanship decline into state where I am now likely to 'buy the warranty.' I'm not sure if this situation is due to poor American skill performance or the outsourced workers' performance slippage. In either circumstance our mechanical products are going to 'BREAK.'

A fact of living is obviously dying. I have (as many of you) lost love ones, dear friends, colleagues and pets. It is rare when a final goodbye is easy to accept, although we accept all goodbyes as a requirement and part of the 'living-contract.'

The two aforementioned realities have a degree of predictability whereas 'change' seems clothed in an array of garments. There are subtle changes that take place over time in such a way that we are oblivious to our adjustments. While the censorship free-speech debate played out over the decades, I recall the 1952 'cover-up' of Lucy Ball's pregnant belly on her sitcom, I Love Lucy. Note 65-years later in the 2012 movie, 'The Sessions,' actress Helen Hunt gives viewers a complete full-frontal nudity look. A huge societal acceptability change, eh?

In 1952, most families had a dog of mixed breed, which they got free because all dogs were running 'Willy-nilly' throughout the neighborhood 'making babies.' Puppy Ownership style changed over-time and now those mixed-breeds are by design with cute names i.e., 'Goldendoodle, Yorkipoo, Maltipoo, Cockapoo, Schnoodle, etc, etc.' And...they ain't 'free.'

I suspect the ONE consistent human experience standing the test of time is the 'potential' to LOVE.
The word 'love' is used here to suggest all types of love. The family love experience, the 'falling-in-love' experience and the opportunity to express and share in a community of brotherhood/sisterhood love.

Whereas, we have no control over mechanical breaks and death, we do have great input potential to express and accept love. And...today holds that potential.
