On the Alanis song, "You Owe Me Nothing in Return" which I included the lyrics to a few blog posts ago, this is obviously an idealized form of love - one I strive for.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God’s gift, that’s why we call it the present. - Oogway in Kung Fu Panda (originally the quote is from Joan Rivers) The Himalayan foothills of Nepal, near the India border.
