I have been writing about love because my heart is telling me things. Sometimes the words come moving fast, sometimes they are thoughtfully slow. Whenever the heart speaks, however, I hear a voice that flows into my deepest veins, like a friend.
I think it is no accident that songwriters Paul McCartney and James Taylor, novelist Nicholas Sparks and James Patterson, poets e.e. cummings and Bob Dylan wrote many songs and stories about love. Their hearts continued to speak to them and they scribbled down everything that made sense.
When love speaks, take good notes. We can only hope, not only that they are bestsellers or giant hit songs, but that they fill us with joy for years to come.
Here is a movie based on one of James Patterson's books. It is filled with triumph and sadness, but such is love.
