九十六句爱的箴言

Ninety-six words and all pure and clear. Very inspiring

Writing about love in English is more about 'showing' rather than 'telling'. If you look at love poetry, it often describes what makes up the loving feelings rather than giving them a single name. In this way, English is an incredibly rich language when expressing love.

T.S. Eliot also wrote in Little Gidding that we would "arrive where we started and know it for the first time". LOVE (God by any other name), Creator and Lover of all souls, beautiful Mystery. Perhaps Robert Johnson's Journey is not unlike my own? The "object" of all my own searching, the Divine LOVE I desperately needed to know was finally revealed to me. By grace alone and in my vulnerable, humble longing, I saw that LOVE has a face and a name. I am now content and at peace amidst the brokenness and violence, able to simply be the Presence of LOVE with others. }:- ❤️ anonemoose monk

I think all the following are words of Love: kindness, generosity, compassion, tenderness, loyalty, devotion, grace, hope, trust, sincerity, honouring, respect, etc etc etc... It isn't that we lack the words. It's that our culture is so ignorant of love that it collapses it all into one idea. Love is the energy of the universe, it sings from every blade of grass and every feeling. We do have words for it if we have eyes and hearts that see it and resonate with it and celebrate it!
