Love shook my heart,
Like the wind on the mountain
Troubling the oak-tree.
~Sappho
The Greek poet Sappho believed love to be the strongest force of all, with the strength to move mountains and possibly even topple an oak tree. You have to be strong to survive the power of love and have endurance like the tall peaks and mountain trails. The mountains of the heart aren't an easy voyage and they are hard to climb, but I think finding love is ultimately what we all hope for and the best choice we can make with our lives.

The singer Rebecca Ferguson reminds us that in a world that's not always so good, we need love to survive. Nothing's Real But Love.
