love

oftentimes i attempt to wrap my head around something(s). mostthetime i fail miserably. thank God. If i were to fully understand something what would be the point of each day? of using my brain? of the soul's quest? of relationships? of progress? of forward? of anything?

i think about love... always, and come to multiple conclusions. 

1. love is the most momentous, earth-shaking(think of more adjectives) conception ever. i mean seriously! when something makes you want to expound forever It must be Amazing.

2. i love it. 

3. "ye were created to show love one to another."  ye were CREATED TO SHOW LOVE one to another. YE WERE CREATED TO show LOVE one to another. YE WERE CREATED TO show LOVE ONE to ANOTHER.... and suddenly life makes more sense. 

3 1/2. but there is a reason it says "show." because the words "i love you" mean nothing if they're spoken - that's personal, that's for the person saying them. showing love is what matters because that's what displays and manifests the love - showing it.

4. The Four Kinds of Love: 1. The love of God towards the Self and Identity of God. 2. The love of God towards man. 3. The love of man towards God. 4. and the love of man for man (because we are creatures of God). "These are rays from the Sun of Reality..."

5. I believe true love is the simultaneous inward and outward flow of Warmth from the heart.

6. "love is touching souls"

7. love is the homeless man telling me, "you know, we're all the same" as tears swell up in our eyes.

8. love is giving without expecting to receive.

9. love is when the Sun promises to rise again and does.

...

"A lover is he who is chill in hell fire

  A knower is he who is dry in the sea.

Love accepteth no existence and wisheth no life..."
