from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

May: On LoveMay 3Today's reflection was inspired by the poem "Love Walked Alone" by Stephen Crane.One cannot be stronger than the other. The stronger love grows, the stronger heart’s pain grows right alongside her—waiting, always waiting. The reason is simple as to why it’s so difficult for some to love—it is because the risk for suffering is so great. But the ultimate question you must ask yourself is this: is love worth the risk of the heart’s pain that comes with it?Reflection title: An Inevitable CompanionCreative inspiration: Stephen Crane, "Love Walked Alone"Reflection Question: I cannot have one without the other—so am I accepting of both love and heart’s pain? Is the risk worth it to me?
