The L-word

I'm not scared of the word. Truly, I am not. Sometimes, if I say it, it might scare someone away. My timing may not be good, but the intention is far from scaring away. Everything I do, everything I write, holds its intention. I want to direct my actions, my words, my feelings, toward it. I may not say it explicitly, but it is always there. It directs me, guides me. It's at the core of what I do. When I say I give, this is what I am giving. Strip away the frippery and finery, and this is what I give. This is what is there.

Love. I can't help but give it.
