Jack Johnson sings,

“Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like ‘why are we here?’
and ‘where do we go?’
and ‘how come it’s so hard?’
It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving.
I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together.”

Love is the answer. Whatever the question.

Why? Love.

Where? Love.

How come it’s so hard? Love.


Cheryl Strayed said, “Love is our essential nutrient. Without it, life has little meaning. It’s the best thing we have to give and the most valuable thing we receive. It’s worthy of all the hullabaloo.”
