Today, a group of people spent a few hours at our house. They gathered to honor a change in the life of a friend we all share. Somewhere under all the beer and booze, somewhere behind the pink jeep was a deeper meaning in today's events.
The need to connect and share love exists in us all. It is unavoidable. It is truly the one thing that all people have in common. Some people will go to great lengths to express their feelings. Others will go to equally great measures to hide their need and desires to grow rewarding relationships.
Finding people with whom you can share a deep connection is a rare and treasured event. The rewards and dividends that are paid out in the fruit of a true friendship far surpass anything printed on your weekly paychecks or quarterly earnings statement.
Everyone who came here today wanted something. Yes, they all wanted to spend some time with Luci before she changes the scenery of her life. Yes, everyone came here to get a few good laughs in and eat and drink their fill. However, more then anything else, they all came wanting to be loved. They wanted to feel safe in the company of people they call friends. They wanted to be accepted as they are and give themselves as a love offering for Luci, for a few brief hours.
We should strive to live life this way all year long. To live life like it was on long summer party. Love freely on those we care about every day as if they were about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. All too often we fail to truly realize the potential that exists when we give generously of ourselves to those around us.
