Hops , It was 1969 a antiwar rally at collage campus .I was 17.I went with 2 other 17 year old girlfriends not because our political
views were fully developed I must confess but we were looking for guys.My guy was the college photographer taking photos of the protesters .Two weeks later we were introduced and we stood there they say for 3 or 4 minutes just starring at each other not saying a word .My Greek guy 19, skinny long dark hair well 1/2 Greek 1/2 English.Then we walked to get a soda and he pranced around me like a young deer.very sweet.Then we went to his dark room and developed photos from the  rally.
there had been about 250 protester's.My Mr Moon took many photos .To our surprise after about 7 shots there I was 3 close up photos of
me before we had ever met ,out of all those people funny huh  what year is man 1969 peace man 
Love And Light

Thanks Moon for a wonderful thread...

"Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love."

-Kahlil Gibran

[Sela]

1 "...If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,
5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
9 For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
12 At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
13 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love..."

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
