So, this week, I've been working on a lyric about illusions.., and somehow I ended up doing a bit of research about Love, one of life's greatest illusions. So many think it's a feeling. Alas, it is not, in it's purest form. Often, it's simply a decision, ..an action. Love has mobility, in that it moves and breathes and flows. But, don't take my word for it.., here're some quotes from some pretty heavy thinkers.
Feel free to add your own.
PEACE, Dear Friends.
`E D E N
"When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."
"Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young."
"You must feel love within, before you can share it."
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
Real Love is not based on attachment, but on altruism.
In this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
I JOHN 4:
7
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
20
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
21
And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Out of a great need
We are all holding hands and climbing.
Not loving is a letting go.
Listen,
the terrain around here
is far too
dangerous
for
that.

oh, and one more by Hafiz
Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe
Me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky
