Love Means Circling the Wagons
Many of my recent posts have dealt with the nature of romantic love, but today I have been thinking more about love in general. I look to the Mormon pioneers for an object lesson about life. Each night as they set up camp they would circle the wagons in the wagon train in a way that would provide protection for the people and the animals inside the circle from any animals or people with bad intentions.I was thinking today about how people that truly love each other circle the wagons of support when faced with troubled times. I find it odd, and yet wonderful that people that love each other grow closer through hard times. I think the firmest definition of love is a willingness to suffer pain, disappointment, and misunderstanding together.
