Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
Love is possible only if two persons communicate with each other from the center of their existence, hence if each one of them experiences himself from the center of his existence. Only in this central experience is human reality, only here is aliveness, only here is the basis for love. Love, experienced thus is a constant challenge, it is not a resting place, but a moving, growing, working together, they are one with each other by being one with themselves.
