Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Happy Mother’s Day to all!

No matter how you celebrate: in joy, in longing, in grief, in gratitude, in regret… Regardless, there is something good and deeply compelling about the kind of love we recognize today, and we all need to be invested in such unselfish goodness.

In this, as in all things, I am grateful.

Peace – and love – DEREK
