An Ode to Love

19 Jul

Love.

It makes the world go round.

Sometimes I wonder, does it really?

I started looking. . .

Looking for love in all the right places you could say.

Here’s what I found.

word LOVE sidewalk graffitti

Love – rock solid like the concrete on which this graffiti was spray painted.

“Love doesn’t just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.” – Ursula K. LeGuin

Love Me Tender name on boat

Love – days of smooth sailing along side days of stormy weather.

“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.” – Nicholas Sparks 

glass hearts

Love – fragile in its beauty, long-lasting when cared for.

“i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)” – e. e. cummings 

I love you graffiti on brick wall

Love – messy and uncontrolled.

“Where there is love there is life.” – Gandhi 

rocks on sand in shape of heart

Love – publicly displayed, vulnerable to the elements.

“One love, one heart, one destiny.” – Bob Marley

Stop.

Right now. . .look around your world.

When YOU look for love, what do you see?

I look for peace and choices.  Nothing forced and nothing limiting.   Love this post (or is that too cheesy?)

It's cheesy, but I love it just the same :) 

Cool. As long as I didn't break any cheesy rules too bad :)

I see myself. I see love. I see joy. I see people. I see the world, created from love, made of love. Everything is love. I am love. You are love. Thanks for a beautiful post :)

Thank you, for such a beautiful comment. 

Sandi, It's a slow, hot day here at home...no rhyme or reason to it. The ids are happy and I'm putzing (?) around trying to get in the swing of anything. Twitter was a last resort for a 5-min. break. And then I read this beautiful post. I collect a lot of e.e. cummings' poetry on StumbleUpon. Love him! And,"Love – publicly displayed, vulnerable to the elements." !! The picture is so perfect. Vulnerability. Seems to be the lesson of my life! Thanks for the post. Very creative! Betsy

Thanks Betsy! It's funny how once I started looking the right photos and quotes came together effortlessly.
