Dusk Dates

Love is an action. Never simply a feeling.

Dusk dates have been the intentional times Sean and I have spent together during quarantine.
The most time we’ve spent together. EVER. It’s been beautiful. Restorative. Funny. Peaceful. Comforting.
And it’s been happening every day around dusk. My favorite time of the day.
So love is on the brain. But not just romantic love.
The love of friendship. Radical self-love. That special kind of love we have for our family.
The critical love we need to get by in this world.
I am just thinking about LOVE. All kinds of love.
And I am not finding the just-right words I need right now.
As I do when I cannot find words, I will just use someone else’s.

When we love, we can let our hearts speak.

Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust.

Love heals.

Redeemed and restored, love returns us to the promise of everlasting life. When we love we can let our hearts speak.

All kinds of love.
Thank you, bell hooks.
