We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.
— John Lennon (Lennon’s songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in history. Lennon, who is sometimes called “the smart Beatle,” wrote All You Need Is Love, plus others, which were adopted as anti-war movement anthems, and then into the larger counterculture. Rolling Stone named Lennon the fifth greatest singer and he was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice —as a Beatle and then as a solo artist).
The love of my life (and perfectly matched partner) and my BFF come to mind. Acts of love are delightful, plentiful, mutual and effortless. In my earlier relationships, I can see where incompatibilities derailed any chance of lasting love. No one’s fault. We simply lacked common ground and needed to go our separate ways. Most importantly, these experiences helped to re-define myself and my ideal partner. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
