    Love is bigger than all the rest of it. Bigger than me or you. Bigger than the world. Love is the stuff we're really made of.

        love has no boundary
        it is pure elation
        exuberance
        it is the fragrance of the heart

            Seemed like I'd gone off the side of a mountain
            Couldn't be sure I was even alive
            Fallen from the icy heights
            Landed w/a broken cry
            In this valley of shadows and sorrow and sight
            Can you save me baby

            Nobody lives w/out love
            Nobody gets to give up
            You can try to lock your heart away
            But love will come back for you some day
            Novody lives without love.

            Thought I could live out my life as a stranger
            Hide from the heartbreak that love always brings
            Make it to the higher ground
            Try to turn the volume down
            Couldn't stop the sirens from singing
            Sing for me baby.

            You came along like a flash of pure ligtning
            Crashed into my life like a runaway star
            Feel myself falling like gravity's angel
            Now I'm standing here offering a stranger my heart.

            Nobody lives without love
            Nobody gets to give up
            You can try to lock your heart away
            But love will come back for you some day
            Noobody lives without love.

    "Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible, it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could."

      "Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life — not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love. Love is the truth. Love is the light."
      — Lama Surya Das

      "None of us has the power to make someone else love us. But we all have the power to give away love, to love other people. And if we do so, we change the kind of person we are, and we change the kind of world we live in."
      -- Rabbi Harold Kushner

      "Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you."
      Wayne Dyer

      "You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love."
      ~ Henry Drummond

      "The only reason there is for living is love. There is no other reason for staying on earth."
      — Joel Goldsmith

                this may flow better for you, if you:
                ~~replace the word god with your preference - source, universe, divine, et al
                ~~replace the word he with s/he
                in any event, it points to YOU, THE OWNER OF LOVE
                ~ ~ ~

                God said:

                The owner is the one who serves the most. The owner of a business works long hours. He works extra hours while he gives his staff time off. The owner is the one who cares the most, and he thinks about his business all the time. In his caring, he is not thinking about himself and all his likes and dislikes. He is thinking of the service that is his to give, and so he serves.

                As owners of My love, you serve the most. You give out love the most. Others may be retiring, but not you. You know what business you are in, and you work all hours. You do not count the hours. You are too busy spreading love, not mush, not sentiment, not hugs and kisses, but greater expansion of love that exceeds the ordinary expression of love. You serve even where the world may not assign you to love, but you know Who assigns you, and Who has made it clear that your love is to flow everywhere without distinction. There are no reservations when it comes to your love, or, We can say your love is reserved for everyone. Therefore, there is no first nor last. This is My love, after all, dispersed through you.

                My love you are giving may not be evident from the outside. My love -- Our love -- is like a spring that runs underground. People flock to where the spring bubbles up, and they drink, and they may not know that the water comes from a Source greater than the spout. As you serve gallons of streaming love, you yourself never get thirsty. You quell all thirst. Once the waters of love have been tasted, there is a revival of love, and more and more springs sprout. The springs of love are like vines that entwine themselves around the world. The springs of love become like wine made from grapes of love. Ah, love abounding.

                You are a distiller of My love. You are busy fulfilling all the orders. No one has to order for himself. You see where love is needed, and you see it is needed everywhere, and so you keep sending love. You will My love for all the Earth and all who abide on it. It is your will that love flower. It is your will that love emerge from its hiding place and declare itself, as one would do at customs.

                You are a soldier of love. You invade all countries. There is an army of love, and you lead it. You lead it by example. You don't have to ask anyone to follow. You don't need to ask, because love will be followed. No one can resist it. Remember, beloveds, We are not talking about show of love or demonstration of any kind. We are talking about love being there. It does not have to be fancy. It just has to be love.

                You are a flag-bearer. You are a trumpet call. You are the bugle sounding. And you are turning love on all over the world and galaxies beyond.

                You are an instrument of My will, and that means instrument of My love. You who are My love are also an instrument of it. You are the process of My love unfolding on Earth. You are the front lines of My love, and you are also the rear guard. Wherever you stand, you stand in love. Wherever you are, you are love. What more is there to say?

      love and awareness are your true friends
      yet do not confuse the one with the other
      for one will kill you
      while the other gives you life

        You reached out
        I came forward
        to meet God again
        once again..
        A fine hand of the divine
        lovingly caress's my soul
        A gentle breeze..
        upon my windswept landscape,
        righting all the grains of sand and crystal
        placing them where they fit and become
        part of All
        to await
        again
        the lifting and shifting
        How could have God made you so sweet?
        Your fragrance buffers the remaining unloved petals of my being....
        You unfurl
        and tickle
        brighten
        And enlighten me....

      the moment you have in your heart
      this extraordinary thing called love
      and feel the depth
      the delight
      the ecstasy of it
      you will discover
      that for you
      the world is transformed

    Love is real, real is love
    Love is feeling, feeling love
    Love is wanting to be loved

    Love is touch, touch is love
    Love is reaching, reaching love
    Love is asking to be loved

    Love is you
    You and me
    Love ie knowing
    We can be

    Love is free, free is love
    Love is living, living love
    Love is needing to be loved

      But as we know, greatness isn't measured by what we achieve. Greatness is measured by what we overcome. And to overcome, we need other people in our lives that can pick us up when we are down.

      The only way others can help us is when we start with truthfulness, all the time - no matter how much it hurts. All these mind games we play only hold us back. They hold us back in our romantic relationships, they hold us back in our friendships, they hold us back in life in general.

      How many people in your life are you truthful with?

      How many people do you tell exactly what's on our mind?

      How many people tell you what's on their mind?

      Unfortunately one thing that stops us from having truthful relationships is summed up in an old deodorant commercial from the 80's:

      "Never let them see you sweat."

      We are so embarrassed, ashamed, guarded about our fears and doubts. We hold back from being honest with our parents because we don't want to let them down. We hold back from being ourselves with our boy or girlfriend because we fear they will reject us if they knew our darkest thoughts and fears. We hold back from leaning on a friend because we think they can't hold the weight.

      But, if we want to succeed in life, we must have at least one or two people with whom we can be open with, with whom we can share whatever it is that we are. This path called life is not meant to be walked alone. It's meant to be shared.

      This week, open up. Let it out. Have the courage to be weak. Talk to the people who LOVE YOU AND LET THEM HELP YOU. The truth is, if they are really there for you, they will LOVE YOU EVEN MORE. THEY WILL LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TRUE.. THEY WILL LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE REAL.

      All the best,
      Yehuda Berg

          “When I speak of love, I am not speaking of some sentimental or weak response. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality.”

    Love is not a destination, it is a journey.

    A soul hears the beat of it's mother's heart
    New eyes drink in the worlds beauty
    First touches, first smells, first sounds
    The journey has begun this love is new

    The fluff of a kitten, the tickle of little whiskers
    The touch of frozen flakes, bright drifts of white
    Winds caress as a young body rushes on
    The journey continues this love learns

    The thrill of wheels to a young daredevil
    A masterpiece displayed on the frig, pride
    A hearts first crush so painful so thrilling
    The journey gathers memories to treasure

    Through life we collect the pieces of love
    Memories, experiences the threads of love
    Failures and successes the stength of love
    The journey a magical tapestry of love

    Then two souls on separate journeys meet
    They feel the pull of having always known
    So strong the need to belong, trust, be one
    The journey now a duet, two tapestries unite

    One love created from two collections of memories
    One love created from two collections of experiences
    One love created from two collections of successes
    One journey now traveled hand in hand toward tomorrow.
