What makes a life!?

What makes a life?

Is it meetings attended?

Tasks accomplished?

Places visited?

Is life a matter of 

possessions

titles

influence

power

 

Think about what moments

bring a smile to your face

 

Sitting in a conference

learning new things?

maybe

A balanced budget?

Ah!

No!!!!

 

It is those moments

when you connect another person

when in the meeting

you see a friend

and smile

 

when, while at dinner

you have a conversation

that is real

 

it is those moments

stolen from the

busy-ness

 

when it is just you

and another

being

people

together

 

Maybe 

someday

Lord

I will really get it!

Love is something that you make
Something that you give
Something that you are
Love is you

And oh if you look
If you look in the right places
It's got a million faces
And you can find the traces
The traces of love
Everywhere
