Increasing the Love


The father of a very close friend of mine almost died, was unconscious and on life support for several days.  People who were close to the father, or had been, came to his bedside from all over the world to be close and express their love for him.  The father then regained consciousness and is experiencing some degree of recovery.  In my case I also almost died a while back resulting in a great deal of love expressed and felt by the local recovery community and several others around the country whose lives I had touched.  Each instance served to increase the amount of love in the world, going along with the idea that the purpose of life is to “learn to give and receive love (Mother Teresa).
