L-O-V-E!
Four letters that form the most extraordinary power of expression.
Grammatically applied, it's the square root of the heart's lifeblood, divided by the power of a clarified mind, multiplied by the energy of the air in the lungs. Mathematically expressed, it's...
4Lv = (Ht^2 + Lb)/(Md + Cf) x (MC^2 + Lg). It's the poetic science of 'love's' eternal equation of expression. So, write that down!
(I pause for effect...)
Okay. All joking aside, just what is this potently expressive word that garners so much emotional praise; and is used so frequently, so vehemently by virtually every human being on the planet - and yet, causes so much confusion? It is a truly complex phenomena. Thought to be so mysterious that if it is defined, it will lose some of its power, if not all of it. But how can you feel something or do anything if you don't know what it is or if you can't properly define it? This inquiring mind would like to know.
Over the years, I have heard love described in many ways using many words, sentences, maxims, adages, and full blown 200-400 page books. People have done many things in the name of love, both honorable and dishonorable. Honorable, such as giving one's life to save another. And dishonorable, like lying to someone or for someone all done in the "name of love". This begs the question, "Is the act of love both a good AND a bad, or dare I say evil thing?" Hmmmm...
It is believed that supernatural beings exist. To some, many. To others, only one. We use the term 'God' or 'gods'. To go along with this belief, I looked up to the heavens and asked the Love Gods and Goddesses just what is love to them?
The Male Gods were quick to say, "a building". The Female Goddesses responded in kind with, "a process". The Gods came back again with, "a building!" The Goddesses once more, "a process!!" Back and forth in reciprocity this continued. There was a noticeable rise in vocal impetus as each side endeavored to further exert their influence on the answer.
For a moment, in my limited human understanding, I thought they were arguing; a battle of some sort with each side trying to prove who was right and who was wrong. But as they went back and forth, I realized they were smiling. Their words were furious, their eyes ablaze with passion for their sides' position on the matter of love; almost to the point of what we humans may view as bloodlust.
There were sparks, dazzling sparks with varying colors of intense light emanating from their 'bodies'. But their voices were pleasantly harmonic, a musical composition that enraptured me into a venerated state of spiritual enlightenment. They were indeed fighting, but it was a good fight. A pleasurable fight. A battle of passionate emotion for one another. They were enjoying themselves.
Then it hit me! They were fighting.....for love. And they were IN love as they fought.
For these Gods and Goddesses, this love fight was a sport. A choreographed dance. Entertainment. Joy. And I got the impression that they have been doing it for all eternity. That's when I realized that they were we showing me what love was to them in their words and by their actions. An understanding that reached into my soulful spirit.
For the Male Gods, love was a building because they saw the end, the goal, the complete imagination of a finished construct. And they moved with the speed of ultraviolet light.
For the Female Goddesses, love was a process because they reveled in the beginning, relished the journey, the long romantic walk in, around and through Paradise. And they moved with the pace of infrared radiation.
For them, love is "A Building Process" that works to reflect the Kingdom of Love where peace, rest, relaxation and eternal joy makes their residence. But every building takes vision, planning, time and the use of proper materials in order for it to function properly. And from what these Divine Beings showed me, a piece of true love resided in every human being. A seed planted in the "earthen soil" of our hearts longing to burst forth and envelop the whole of our existence. Nevertheless, seeds need a little help from the rain colors of the bow spectrum of Ultraviolet Light and Infrared Radiation. And ultimately, the Water of their Spirit to give it life.
So it is with this understanding that I descended back to the land of the humanfolk in order to locate these pieces, these seeds; gather them and begin the construction of an earthly love kingdom to reflect that of the Supernaturals. However, my endeavor came with a warning: "Beware! For an evil seed has slithered its way into the hearts and minds of humanity. Therefore, mount the wings of the Dove Spirit and use the wisdom of the Dragon."
My fellow humans! There is a "darkness" that veils our understanding of true love that makes it difficult to find and recognize its pieces; the natural nature of its seeds. So many of us have so many views on love, so many seeds that the task has become excessively laborious to prevention. We seem to have become confused. The enemy seed has disrupted the purity within the communication of our ability to properly 'love'.
Therefore, with the wisdom of the Supernaturals, the Gods and Goddesses of Love, I began a journey to discover those hidden seeds of love that every human being has within themselves. To reassemble them into the big ole completed picture of Love so that we can conform to its beauty.
You see, the Love Gods and Goddesses have two leaders, parents, if you will, who guide and teach the essence, the characteristics of love. And they have a list of at least 14 of them! Yeah! And it doesn't include ALL the abstract elements. But 'let not your heart be troubled'. For the Head God and Goddess first SHOW what 'love' is, then they TELL the secret ingredients to those who seek it. But....we have to do our part.
The question of what love is to us has yielded a dizzying array of responses. Some people have trouble thinking of one word to describe love and others can't even name one. However, since it has been made known that, "Love is a building process", we're not expected to list all 14 known characteristics. The Head God and Goddess gave me a template based on their concept: 3 simple words...or less.
Therefore with this in mind, let us begin construction.
