A single rose can be my garden...a single friend my world....Leo Buscaglia.

The entire month of August is devoted to the wisdom of Leo Buscaglia. He was a wonderful teacher, author, and lecturer of love. Several of his books were best-sellers. He taught for 19 years at the University of Southern California. This is where he first began to "teach" love. His words were, "I really didn't 'teach' the class. I facilitated it - helping the students to discover their own magic." He believed that...."We are all born with God-given, unique traits and skills. But, as with all possibilities they will remain unrealized unless they are developed, nurtured, and put into practice. You may have the 'capacity' to love, but if left undeveloped, you will never gain the 'ability.'" Dr. Buscaglia became known around campus as "Dr. Hugs." He felt that...."Giving is its own reward. Yet the attitude persists of giving with expectations-- 'What's in it for me' or actually, 'Who needs me?' The answer is that 'magic' is in it for you, and 'everyone' needs you." In the words of Leo Buscaglia...."It is only when we give joyfully of ourselves, without hesitation or thought of gain, that we can truly understand what love means...."

The inspiration for Dr. Buscaglia's "love class"...."The Girl in the Fifth Row."
