"Love is reciprocal; it is an exchange of our vulnerabilities and our higher selves in the name of transformation."

-Common, Let Love Have the Last Word

"Love is a verb, I've heard through-out the years, not a noun; to love someone is to take action, to do something in love's name. Love counts most in the present moment."

-Common, Let Love Have the Last Word

"In other words, if you're always more concerned about how someone will react to you, and if you're worried someone will react negatively, then you're less likely to say anything at all. And in such a situation, you're the one who ends up hurting the most. I better understand, it's not about being careless in the words you say, but it's about being clear, and then just letting it be. I should be able to ask for whatever I need; conversely, she should be able to ask for whatever she needs. Recognizing, speaking to, and honoring our truths is the correct path to fostering love and intimacy; that such communication is difficult only underscores the impact of this positive and open connection."
