Sweetener of Human Existence

Love…
…is never wasted. In spite of what pain and heartache may come, loving and being loved are the most important parts of being alive. Love is the sweetener of human existence.

American spiritual teacher and author Gary Zukav

is all
there is.

Like Oxygen

Love…
… makes a home without your presence seem ordinary and lacking. It is in your absence I realize the depth of my feelings and that you have become to my heart like oxygen is to my lungs.

From “In Your Eyes” by Tony DeLorger
kissing,lovers,love,couple,photography,portrait-94a7b550041643552fb032324be0de83_hYour eyes are the pathway to my soul,
and within you I see myself,
a reflection of my hopes, my dreams,
brought to me within the arms of love.
You presence to me is serenity,
the knowing that I am here,
that I exist and I am whole
within the silence of dreams.
Near is all I want to be,
for it is you who gives me hope…

Deep Healthy Roots

Love…
…is made strong when it is allowed to grow slowly. Like a tree with deep healthy roots, with unhurried development the emotion is made strong and able to hold up under adversity. Love that sprouts quickly is usually just a weed that lives only for single season.

19th century English poet Robert Browning

made
and

to look
for you
and wait
for you
and

forever.

A Beautiful Reminder

Love…
…is when you look into someone’s eyes and see everything you need reflected back to you. There is no mistaking it for something else. You’ll know beyond doubt when true love is present.

A Sureness Beyond Explanation

Love…
…brings one of the greatest certainties a person will ever know. We are rarely convinced of anything in the same way as when true love arrives. Without logic or thought, true love brings a sureness beyond explanation.

Set To Music

Love…
…grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.(Elbert Hubbard)

Above All Things

Love…
…narrows space and lessens burdens. It brightens day and enraptures night. Love knows no boundary, specific language or government. It is above all things created by humankind.

True and Deepest Love

Love…
…makes me unafraid with you. I’m at peace when I drift off to sleep with you next to me knowing that you’d protect me with all that you are, even to death if it was required. I would do the same for you without a second thought.

American drama critic and editor George Jean Nathan

and deepest love
not for the species
of woman
whose company
he finds himself
electrified and
enkindled,
but for that one
in whose company
he may feel
tenderly drowsy.

Until Forever’s Gone

Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.

From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
fireworksWith all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.

Full Acceptance

Love…
…drives me to know only the person you truly are. Please do not change because you think you need to. It is the height and depth of the real you that I want in my heart; nothing else.

American teacher and writer Karen Casey, Ph.D.

loving
another
means
letting go
of all
expectations.
It means
full acceptance,
even celebration
of another’s
personhood.
