Meet Julio. I had the chance to meet this outgoing and spunky little guy in Ensenada, Mexico on July 9, 2010. Being Valentines Day, I was pondering what picture/type of photo I should select for today's Daily Dose. I must admit, I don't have a ton of cheesy love shots although I have a few in the engagement archives. But on this day of 'love,' I was wondering what love really means to all of us? Does it mean things? Does it mean time? Frankly I'm not very well versed in the notion of romantic love, I'm single. But I believe I have somewhat of an understanding of what Christ meant when he said "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. And Love your neighbor as yourself." Again, somewhat of an understanding. Christ also says that (excuse my paraphrase) "The greatest expression of love is the sacrificing of your own life for another." Wow. Can't say I've done that.
The reason I chose this shot is because it is through people and children like Julio that I have found love. Love as an expression and a common bond between two or more people. I've recognized it in the poor because I believe in situations like these all other distractions and levels of human comfort are stripped. So my question to you is where do you find your love? My dream for the world is that love will never be found in a 'thing' but a 'who.'
