Namaste: Different Facets of Love

His friends call him the gentle giant, sauntering around his garden and tending to his patches of greens and flowers.  In the few times I interacted with him, I understood why his friends were both proud and protective of him.

I have never met someone with a bottomless reserve for love.

He is the most loving husband and devoted father to his girls and grandchildren.  Imagine switching to a pure vegan diet in support of his wife, learning ways to cook delectable vegan dishes along the way.

He is a great lover of this beautiful world we live in.  Every year he goes on a trip outside of his home, appreciating the the unique beauty of the place and enjoying open and honest interactions with everyone he meets.  And, even though not all experiences are fun, he always finds the silver lining and the humor in every situation; never judging anyone who may have wronged him.

On top of that, he makes an annual trip to serve a remote community, helping build their homes along with other friends from his church.  He serves with pure love, expecting nothing in return, being happy at just loving.

And while he has the softest heart, easily given to tears; he has the strongest faith, anchored on pure filial trust in God. I hope, one day, to grow into the kind of person he is, God's love personified and happy dancing everyday.
