Crazy how four normal letters when placed together can\u00a0generate the heat they do in people, in actions, in ideas, in movements, in animals, in life&#8217;s everyday and grandiose events. Love can move mountains and crumble dynasties. It is taken for granted. It is forgotten. It is abused and neglected. It is cherished and nurtured. It is old and new. It is young and\u00a0experienced. It is worked for. It is wished for. It soothes and cradles.\u00a0It is misunderstood. It is studied and dissected. It is talked about openly and whispered behind closed doors.\u00a0It is coveted and twisted. It is a rush and a high of delight. It is a crushing blow of pain.\u00a0It\u00a0is at the root of everything and what we do with it nourishes or strangles the life of all that it touches. Love&#8217;s power with the many twists, turns, avenues, and lanes is an amazing and beautiful gift. Such a gift should be yielded with care and with the whole heart making life a much more beautiful and amazing place to be. How do you perceive love&#8230;. How do you give and receive love&#8230;. How do you show love? Such a powerful word with such a way all it&#8217;s own&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..H<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love Love of Family Love of Friends Love of a Spouse Love of a Partner Love of a Child Love of our Pets Love of Animals Love of Earth Love of Nature Love of Religion Love of Country Love of a Thought Love of an Ideal Love of Power Love of Success Love of the &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/?p=141\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Love&#8217;s many twists, turns, avenues, and lanes<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,2],"tags":[95,12,19,96,101,103,98,47,7,10,97,100,22,27,28,102,44,99,16,45],"class_list":["post-141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dream-weaving","category-feeling-it","category-think-tank","tag-accepting","tag-beautiful","tag-dreaming","tag-feeling","tag-give","tag-hold","tag-hunger","tag-longing","tag-lost","tag-love","tag-missing","tag-my-place","tag-pain","tag-protecting","tag-realizing","tag-receive","tag-reflecting","tag-trying-to-finding-my-way","tag-watching","tag-wishful"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":144,"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions\/144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pattingthepuppy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
