Often when I leave comments on posts that move me, I write “I love this post” or “I love the way you do [this]” or “I love that quotation.” Lately I’ve been wondering if I’m overusing the word “love”.
The Greeks had a better understanding of love than we do. They had at least seven words for love, according to the variety of love one was talking about - much like the Inuit have many words for snow. If something is central to life, you build a vocabulary for it.

I think you are right. We need to increase our vocabulary of love.

Agreed, Deborah. Substack feels like an old fashioned community on such days.
The world needs more bees, and it definitely needs more love.
I love your life story, your passion for poetry and art, and your interest in Creativity and Taoism, you share with us. Thank you, Deborah!
You are so kind, Michael, and so very welcome. Thank you.
Distribute love like a bee distributes pollen and surely it will grow into something beautiful.
Thank you, Deborah!
Thank you, Paul! I like to think that's true.
