live to love. feel loved everyday. give love everyday.

"some say, love, it is a
hunger - an endless 
aching need..
i say, love, it is a flower,
and you,
it's only seed.."

late at night, while i was riding a jeepney, going home, i was seated across two old people, one boy, the other girl. i looked at them and thought what business they could have attended to. they did not look like they went home from work because they weren't wearing working clothes and they were quite old to work. i did not push the analysis further and my mind wandered someplace. minutes passed and they finally reached their destination. the man went out of the jeepney first, very slowly. he was having a really hard time going out. with his frail body, he bent halfway down just to avoid hitting his head on the ceiling while going out. the lady also bent down and slowly went out of the jeepney behind the man. everybody were looking at them, like eying down their every move.. :) the man finally got out. and i got what i hoped for.. ;) i looked at him as he stepped on the road, waiting and watching.. you see, after going out, he did not move to the road side, instead, in spite of his very fragile body, he waited by the back of the jeepney and received the hand of the lady, carefully assisting her as she climbed down the little jeepney stairs. :D

witnessing what i witnessed allowed me to really appreciate the presence of love, whether you are young or old, it exists. and i thank the couple for reminding me that.. :)) 

live to love. feel loved everyday. give love everyday.
