12 things that annoy you

1 person that you truly love
--What is true loving? If I ever love as fully as I seek to, then I will BE love, without respect of persons; be a channel for God's passionate affection for earth and its inhabitants. That's my dream. But I am human, broken, insufficient; my love is besmudged and comes in fragments; it's only a crude image of what Love should be. But better by far than not loving.
