"Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure: 1) acceptance, 2) understanding, 3) appreciation. Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart.

"Have you ever seen the dawn? Not a dawn groggy with lack of sleep or hectic with mindless obligations and you about to rush off on an early adventure or business, but full of deep silence and absolute clarity of perception?
