What Love Is

Love causes all things to be... this I have learned, known and immeasurably felt. Love is magically selfless in it's purpose which fills a place to bloom with mutual revelry, or inspire an empty, shriveled heart to expand either in the giving or receiving of devotion. And this fervor is beyond the physical... it is metaphysical: the only sentiment that can bring one to delight in an out -of- body experience through each heaving upward and outward, from one's breath; the next heartbeat to the next communion shared with a beloved, instead of being held inward. This I have learned, known and immeasurably felt... for love causes all things to be: kind and unconditional.

Nette, you are a delight of communication. That immeasurable feeling - some of it translates through the Aether, the best quintessence borne upon your words, running through them, supported all around them in magic.

This is one of my favorite Nette poems. You went deep with simplicity and wove a poem with threads seemingly of sincerity. The read felt like a gem from your true heart and truly resonated with me. Perception, right? Hope all is golden in your world, mine has been in hectic season, but all is well. Hugs ... CayCay
