  DJK~ I read what you wrote and this sounds incredibly sad. So you have not known love yet? Then you must get to the Dallas Apostafest. I am sure somebody has some for you. Even if it is Valis with a spatula..lol Truly tho' why so sad?

  And Crumpet. I do think both losses were incredibly sad, Mother Teresa spent her life doing what a lot of us only write or dream of while watching movies. She lived at that!

  And

  In any case I'm glad you mentioned the book, I'll get a copy and read it. What we need in society is many voices like Mary Pipher only then things will start changing.

  I still am trying to get more read. I have been distracted by a huge copy of Dilbert. lol I know ADD kicking in. Hey is that a shiny something?

  Not to deprive Mother Theresa of the admiration and blessings she clearly deserves, I find this gentleman captures my thoughts on the subject, at this moment, quite well:

  If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

  -Sir James M. Barrie BA- My sentiments, exactly.

  Brother Apostate~ This thread is about love and not so much Mother Teresa, it was just a turn it took and I am all about letting conversations go where they may. And what you quoted is so very true.

  If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

  -Sir James M. Barrie

  All is so small and empty without love. And if you have everything and yet no love...who gives a rats butt. No I that is for sure. You can't kiss a "cold home."

  So true. It's all about love. This life and the next. It's what makes life worth living. All the material possesions in the world mean nothing without love. Yet love, without the material posssesions, is as strong, or maybe even stronger, without those trappings.

  BA- Loves love.
