Love
July 5, 2010
I have an assignment to write a short story themed on “love.” What a huge topic! How can I say anything new about it? How can I come up with a story that is not smarmy and trite? The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that everything is love – we live in it, like fish swimming in the sea, so immersed that we notice it no more than a fish notices the water. Every bit of Creation was made for us, enfolds us, sustains us, delights us if we let it. Even each other – each of us a wondrous reflection of God, each of us a potential source of companionship and, yes, love. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live always with this awareness?

I am looking forward to the story. When does it come out?
