introducing the A-Stones

Dear Thom:

We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.

Second – There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you – of kindness and consideration and respect – not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable.

Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.

The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.

And don't worry about losing. If it is right, it happens – The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.

love,

First – if you are in love – that's a good thing – that's about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don't let anyone make it small or light to you.

The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn't know you had.
