There's something I want, I need, to say here tonight, for what it's worth. Something that's on my heart, stuff I believe in the depths of my being. Maybe somebody out there needs to hear it, I don't know. But here goes.
Don't ever let anyone - anyone - tell you that loving another man is "not in the service of life."Goodnight, guys.
It's hate that kills. Not love. And it's real easy to tell the difference between the two.
Hate draws a line to keep people out. Love draws a circle to bring them in.
Remember this always: Love is Life. No matter who or how you love . . . when you do, you give them Life, and Life returns to you. To love and be loved is what we were put here for. There is no life apart from love. If you aren't loving, you aren't living.
And beyond that - God is Love. A great mystery at the heart of all things. More than we can understand. But that's all you need to know right now.
When you love, and spend yourself upon another, you are the hands and face of God. The word made flesh. Light out of darkness. Eternity in a heartbeat. Solitude extinguished.
It's what you were born to do. So get on with it.
