Billions now seem to be the measure for wealthy space explorers to lottery jackpots. Guestimates by demographic researchers Kaneda and Haub are that 117 billion members of our species have ever been born on Earth and there will be another 4 billion babies to add to our 7.8 billion by 2050.
If I believe love never dies, I could imagine there are 117 billion sparkles of love in my long, hot summer.
Summer is my easy, reliable, old love … strawberries and juicy peaches and caramel popcorn that bursts out and melts into a sweet treat. But what is love? Peanuts creator Charles Schultz said, ‘ Love is sharing your popcorn.’ Shakespeare says it’s you, you compared to a summer day, and ‘thou art more lovely and more temperate.’. It turns out love might have a chemical formula Dopamine+Serotonin+Oxytocin = Love.
If love is an old emotion, is Werner right? Can we pull it from who we are being? Feel the heat. It just might be love.
