The love founded in principle, the love that -- as Corinthians reports -- endures all things and rejoices in the truth. This is a solid, still, and yet hard-edged love. It listens as well as it speaks. And this love may have within it an openness to the visceral, but it is not of the viscera.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I will add that I do not care particularly for chocolate, although I enjoy it on occasion. I prefer the taste of solidarity.Amy Lavender Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459468381600533194noreply@blogger.com
