“A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it.
A song's not a song 'til you sing it.
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.
Love isn't love 'til you give it away!”
-Oscar Hammerstein II

When a breeze become a wind blowing through our lanai, chimes chime, a gong gongs, and a bell rings.

Although each instrument is lovely to see even when the air is still and it hangs in silence, each has far more power when its purpose is activated.

And so it is with love. There's love, the noun, lovely to contemplate, to read about, to talk about, and to yearn for.

And there's love, the verb, the gift within us that grows as it flows. 

Let's be generous with love, in both its giving and receiving.

Today and every day,
