Love

I think I would love if never having been taught: Love, a fiber within my fibers of being, an ethnic beat within my vibratory skin--resounding, rhythmic pulses of heartfelt reflection.... Oh, there is rhythmic refrain even in the seeming tone-deaf; symmetry even in the asymmetric – for most sound begins long before the audition, and patterns are preformed by our hidden attributor, the unseen architect of all destiny, omnipotence we sense behind existence, close as self while elusive as a shooting star.... To know is to stop living – and to live, is to love what we don't know, while embracing for no other reason.... The walking dead fewer than one thinks, though a deep trench through the soul of experience.

Love cannot be taught ! With a few, it is inherent and in fullness. With some there is a small amount. However Love cannot be injected. It evolves naturally. "To know is to stop living – and to live, is to love".... Epigrammatic lines. Very profound as ever, Joe!

Ok, my teaching as a Gospel teacher is both sides of the coun ( Romans 3:23 and then all of chapters 7-8): it is natural to be selfish as to be selfless ( loving). Does a 1.5 year old child need to be taught "grab all the toys, food gifts?" Yes, Apostle of Love, we can turn it around as God intended. Satan took a third of the angels with him & Judas, who taught them to rebel, do evil? Line 1 can NOT be contradicted no matter ones tribe, temple, or training/ culture. Shalom shalom again

Thank you, Anil; your erudite commentary and direction pointing always turn me toward the bible, to look deeper and study. Thank you, my friend!

Not in mind ever a doubt. Blessings my friend. Have a beautiful, safe weekend. We are now in the triple digits in Phoenix, so we begin to hibernate during the day~good opportunity for reading and writing.
