We are more than half way! Each moment brings us closer to our goal. Yesterday I was asked “What is agape?” Not wanting to be too long winded, I said “It’s a special form of love – its unconditional love – It’s unconditional self-love.” We don’t really have enough words in the English language.
I think it is the Inuit who have many more words for love than the English. Think about love – I love my cat, who is right now sleeping next to me. I love my bird, who is incredibly trying to put his silver bell on his head. I have four children whom I adore and a partner I am crazy about. I have a mom who is the best mom ever, a brother who is my hero and the most amazing older sister. In each case there is only one word. None of these relationships feel the same and yet they are described using just the one word – love. So what about agape?
