What if I started loving one more person this month? Maybe someone I’ve known for years. Maybe someone brand new in my life. And I’m talking about true love – wishing the other person well and not needing anything in return. My love could be for an eighty-year-old grandma or a little boy who’s scraped his knee.
And what if that person, being moved by my love for them, looks around in their life the following month and sees a human being that they dearly care for, and that becomes the same sort of deep love? What if every month I added one more precious human? And so did each of the people I’d come to love.
It might look something like this:
| Month | Bruce loves … | The loves of the people Bruce loves | Number of people now loved |
| 1 – September 2014 | #1 | 1 | |
| 2 – October 2014 | #1, #2 | #1 – 1 | 3 |
| 3 – November 2014 | #1, #2, #3 | #1 – 2, #2 – 1 | 6 |
| 4 – December 2014 | #1, #2, #3, #4 | #1 – 3, #2 – 2, #3 – 1 | 10 |
| 5 – January 2015 | #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 | #1 – 4, #2 – 3, #3 – 2, #4 – 1 | 15 |
| 6 – February 2015 | #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 #6 | #1 – 5, #2 – 4, #3 – 3, #4 – 2, #5 – 1 | 21 |
| 12 – August 2015 | #1 – #12 | Etc. | 78 |
| 24 – August 2016 | #1 – #24 | Etc. | 300 |
| 36 – August 2017 | #1 – #36 | Etc. | 666 |
| 45 – May 2018 | #1 – #45 | Etc. | 1035 |
Wouldn’t that be a gas?
