Love

A phone shot of the flowers Betsy had delivered yesterday for mom and the girls

"What is love?" I asked my students yesterday. They had fifteen minutes to write in their journals and then we talked about it. Some of their responses were profound.

• Love is the most powerful thing
• Love is free
• Love is when someone "sits with you" (I don't understand the entire meaning but this is a significant idea in Saudi culture; a friend is equivalent to someone who sits with you.)
• Love is caring more for someone else than for yourself
• Love is when a person comes into your heart
