Serenity is not easy to come by in a chaotic world. We live, love, laugh, and try to do our best. We fall, skin our souls, get up and try again. Fate taunts us, tears at our hearts, making life so difficult. Daily, we encounter new experiences that test our mental stamina. We learn to live with our dilemnas, never doubting that there are lessons to be learned, for much wisdom is found in pain. It is so easy to blame others, difficult to accept what we cannot change, almost impossible to love what we do not understand. Love that springs from the soul is the most perfect kind of all. It has no need of assurance from the flesh,and thrives only from the kindness of an understanding heart. This kind of love survives all storms,serves all needs, breaks no laws. This is the kind of love that lasts forever. Know it for what it is, embrace it, live with it in your heart, for it is yours. copyright January 1998 Judith Anne Labriola
