To Love and Be Loved …

It's the day after Valentine's Day, so I'm naturally thinking about LOVE.

And thinking about LOVE, I'm reminded of a favorite quote of a cousin-in-law of mine, who was the type of person who lived large, always seized the day, had an insatiable curiosity, and could easily drop a Shakespeare quote into an otherwise mundane conversation.

So when I learned of his favorite quote, and knowing him, I was preparing myself for quite an erudite phrase … something profound and complex that I would really need to think about.

But instead, it was a simple quote … a quote that I thought I didn’t need to think about.

But do you know what? I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
