“Risking our heart is why we are alive.....”

Songs fill my head and my heart with just about every emotion I have.   Sometimes they  match the emotion, sometimes they simply match the time and place.   Sometimes they match a memory and sometimes they are the memory.  “What’s it all about Alfie?” “Oh love that will not let me go”.   So many songs are about Love.  Looking for it, finding it, losing it.  “Oh love that will not let me go” is the title to an old  hymn.  My mother loved the church music.  I think I may have gotten that from her.   Most of my life has been about a search for God and a search for love.  And we have always been told that God is Love.  “Risking our heart is why we are alive” is a quote from a television show tonight.  A writer and a cop, falling in love, resisting love.   I would bet that if we were to find the source/the reason for all we do it would all come down to risking our heart, searching for love, searching for God.      Remember in your search to look into your heart.  The risk is probably that we just might find what we are looking for.
