Inside the book

LOVE asks what I feel. EVOL asks what that feeling requires of me: what I protect, what I remember, what I correct, what I preserve, what I build, and who I become because I love.

There are words we understand because somebody defines them. There are other words we understand only after living long enough to see what they were hiding. Love is one of those words.

We speak it easily. We write it. We promise it. We search for it. We suffer because of it. We build families around it. We remember people through it. And yet the word itself can become so familiar that we stop asking what it actually means.
