LEARNING TO GIVE LOVE is like learning to use a new skill. At first we feel awkward, perhaps frightened. It is necessary to go slowly, to work in small, familiar, even trivial ways, and not to be discouraged if the response is slow in coming. We cannot change a pattern of years with a single gesture, an occasional word. But love freely given, without strings attached, without even a demand for thanks or gratitude will sooner or later win love in return.
