WHEN YOU LOVE: Harnessing the healing power of emotion

	When you love
	the world opens itself to you
	and distances melt away.

	When you love
	the heart of everyone is yours
	and you tap into something great.

	When you love
	adversities become opportunities
	and hardships new discoveries.

	When you love
	ordinary power seems like child's play
	what you understand surpasses
	more than words can convey

	Only with love
	does deep healing take place.


Cantara: Hopelessly idealistic, wouldn't you say?

Miok:    (pretending to be interested in the conversation) A certain amount of idealism is probably healthy.

Cantara: Yet it's blind . . . idealists often ignore the suffering around them.

Tim:     That's true, but perhaps all human perception is inevitably distorted to some degree.

Chris:   (spitting out sum' watermelon seeds) Yep! We've gotta be humble 'bout our knowing.
