The world is brimming with amazing things; breathtaking views divine food and drink and heart-stopping excitement. And all of this can be explained by or is created by science. Matter is manipulated to create what we want and the result is not only predictable but expected. The only wildcard in our universe has no image, no weight or size, nor does it hold a space on the periodic table- the list of all elements to make up our world. And yet this thing is so powerful that just the smallest amount can change lives and even change our entire world. When added this ingredient created a bond between two or more other organisms that is stronger and more durable than any other element. And because of this, it is
the single most valued element in the world. When lost it causes great pain and sadness and can be mourned forever in many cases. But fortunately, this element is man-made; it is love.
The tiniest spark of love can and will change a person’s entire world. Colors become more vivid, the weight of the world seems just a bit more manageable and a sense of peace and gratitude glow from a person’s eyes. Whether in the same room or separated by thousands of miles, love bonds two people in a way that defies all that we know about time and space. It simply refuses to adhere to any of our laws of nature and becomes a connection that is simply unexplainable. It is the one element that every person in the world craves, and when discovered cherishes more than life itself. Its value is proven again and again in every corner of the world when sadly it is lost. The loss of love has been described as dying from the inside out or having ones heart torn from their chest. It is a sadness that can literally end ones most basic and primal instinct for survival.
And all of this comes from something that no one has ever seen or touched. But fortunately, many have been touch by it, felt it deep in their body and soul and been warmed and nurtured by its glowing warmth. It is an element that in its truest form is rare and more beautiful than anything else in the world. To find it and to share it with another person is a gift from the universe to be treasured and appreciated above all else. True love is the element that enhances everything else in the world, provides a richness in one’s life that can never be paralleled and could very easily be the answer to one of the sciences most pondered and evasive questions. The meaning of life is……to find love.
So beautiful, so true, so profound, especially today, Good Friday. Thank you, Kathy, as your writing is such a blessing, each and every day. xxxxoooo
All inhabitants of our planet has experience the love of someone or something. Depending on how they were raised, and by whom, many have gotten great love and didnt know it until they lost it. But for some, if they get it back, it triples in value. For me, it’s the best gift anyone can give me. I have met many persons who don’t know what love is. And some got it many times, and let it slipped away. Being loved, and giving love is really not our problem. Knowing what love is, when you receive it, tends to be a problem for most of us. Because if you really know what love is, and what it means to be loved, you would never let it die!
