Love Cannot Be Contained

Love cannot be contained within "speaking" or "listening"
Love is a Sea whose depths cannot be fathomed.
Would you dare try and count the drops of the sea?
Before the Sea of Love, the seven seas are nothing.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi

I like this quote, because it exemplifies how I feel about the people and pets I deeply love.  There is no ocean wide enough, no river deep enough to keep me from loving you.  I think there's a song with such lyrics.

For true love has no bounds and no boundaries.  Take pets, for example.  They love us completely and unconditionally.  And, we feel their immense warmth and comfort.  When I'm down or feeling lonely, my kits and pup always infuse my spirits with gentle joy.  No matter when or where, how or why. 

Always by my side.  A forever balm for my soul.

Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat... Never take yourself too seriously.
