Someone wrote on the wall of a sister grieving the loss of her brother, to "stay strong and love hard". Love hard....I wonder what it would look like if I did that. Some of us work hard, play hard, party hard....but I have never thought of loving hard. Love is so often associated with 'softness', like flowers and clouds and cuddly things. I think I want to love hard, because here are a few things that 'hard' means, by various dictionary definitions:
Solid, firm, and resistant to pressure; not easily broken, bent, or pierced.
With a great deal of effort.
Intense in force or degree
With great force, vigor, or energy
Firmly; securely
To love firmly, intensely, with great effort. I think we would all like to BE loved that way, so wouldn't it be good to put forth the effort TO love that way? Stay strong and Love Hard!!
