Embrace

Embrace

What does it mean to embrace?

To embrace a child, a spouse, a friend
To embrace an idea, a thought, a viewpoint?

[From the French "embracer," en- + brace pair of arms — more at brace. I like the metaphor of arms around, encircling something one loves.]

To cherish a child, a spouse, a friend
Hug

To welcome
To take part in
Be part of

... something larger than ourselves!
