Reflections of Love

Recently, a new friend suggested that I read the book, "Practicing in the Presence of People." I'm pretty passive, spontaneous, and easygoing when things aren't work-related, so I just readily agreed without asking any questions.

As I read the prologue, something caught my attention:

"In the stillness, love grows deeper. Following the death of my mother, my father often said, "I only wish I could have loved her while she was still here the way I do now." This is the goal of contemplation: to love right now as we will in heaven."


I'm now tempted to wonder why this book had been recommended. But then again, this is not work-related. So, I'll just go with the flow. Let go, and let God. Reading this book will be an interesting journey. I look forward to posting more meaningful thoughts on this blog as I progress. It may just inspire me to write/compose another song!
