I read this and felt it was too good not to share.
"I met my bride of 42 years while stationed in Japan with the U.S. Army, and fell in love almost immediately. My future bride told me that Americans too often equate love to a burning fire. She said that the fire burns out and becomes cold ashes.
Her philosophy was that true love is like flowing water. It runs in rivulets down hillsides and joins creeks that become rivers. It gains in strength and intensity through these travels until it flows into the sea.
Now after 42 years of marriage to this wonderful lady, I can also say that the greatest definition of love is that "love is giving what you need to get." -- Paul"
