Love…
…runs when chased, but will catch you if you stop running from it. To grab for love creates a barrier against its arrival. To give up on love makes you no longer its possible destination. Letting go and keeping hope makes for fertile ground for love to grow in.
Quote by American writer Carl S. Avery
Love enables you
to put your
deepest feelings
and fears
in the palm
of your partner’s
hand, knowing
they will be
handled
with care.
Love…
…bestows the strength to feel safe in surrender. Becoming stronger comes from a heart receiving what completes it: love. Fear and worry do not depart. Instead such shadows become small in the radiant light of love.
Poem by a writer unknown/anonymous
LAUGH
so hard that even
SORROW
smiles at you;
FIGHT
so strong that even
FATE
accepts defeat;
LOVE
so true that even
HATRED
walks out of the way;
and LIVE
life so well that even
DEATH
loves to see you exist.
Love…
… will change lovers irrevocably. It bonds two people into a single entity with four arms, four legs, two minds, two hearts and one love. The knowing of where each ends and the other begins becomes happily lost.

I love you
for all
that you
are, all
that you
have been
and all
you are
yet
to be.
Love…
…knows of imperfection, but cares little about it. What is good and virtuous is amplified. Flaws and deficiency are diminished. Through the eyes of love we lift another to their greatest height.
French philosopher & Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love alone
is capable
of uniting
living beings
in such a way
as to complete
and fulfill them,
for it alone
takes them
and joins them
by what is deepest
in themselves.
Love…
…oh, precious love; without hesitation or pause, I find myself surrounded by your grace. The rectitude of this love makes me swoon with its sweetness; ’tis a face forward fall from which I am unlikely to recover.
Cuban national hero and esteemed poet and writer José Martí
Love is…
born with
the pleasure
of looking
at each other;
it is fed
with the
necessity
of seeing
each other;
it is concluded
with the
impossibility
of separation.
Love…
…sweet and tender is the pinnacle of affection. Even greater than the fire that passion can burn between two people, gentle tenderness is the richest part of loving and being loved.
Lebanese-American artist, poet and writer Kahlil Gibran
Tenderness
and kindness
are not
signs of
weakness
and despair, but
manifestations
of strength
and resolution.
Love…
…including laughter nourishes the soul best. Humorous moments like making funny faces, being silly, telling jokes, giggling, you walking around with my big shoes on your tiny feet, me acting crazy like a monkey and such, strengthen the spirit.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
The most
beautiful
thing is to
see a person
you love
smiling.
And even
more beautiful
is knowing
that you are
the reason
behind it.
Love…
…at its best brings contentment, strength and a sense of knowing more completely who you are. Many other feelings like self-doubt, uncertainty and disbelief sometimes pass for aspects of love but are most often only contaminants created by one’s own mind.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
Find someone who isn’t afraid
to admit that they miss you.
Someone who knows
that you are not perfect,
but treats you as if you are.
Someone whose biggest fear
is losing you.
One who gives their heart
completely.
Someone who says I love you
and means it.
Last but not the least,
find someone you wouldn’t mind
waking up with you
in the morning,
seeing your wrinkles
and your gray hair
but still falls in love
with you all over again.
Love…
…can arrive with a force so full it almost knocks one off their feet. The feeling is one of awe, wonder and even fear about what is happening while knowing at the same time it is wonderful and good.
From “On the Grounds of Love’s Arrival by ‘Rex’
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
you’ve inspired me to sing.
I’m in tune to all the blessings,
through the comforts that you bring.
Now to welcome nature’s colors,
shining free within the light.
Morning skies above the setting,
glowing elegant, and bright.
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
I’m so moved by what I find.
Through the ways of clear reflections,
songs of hope to be refined.
Well complete within each moment,
’cause our love’s a timeless dance.
Through your graceful, soft affections,
heartfelt soul you so enhance.
Love…
…brings a feeling like Spring after Winter. There is great hope of what is to come and everything appears more beautiful and filled with life. The arrival of love changes a person. They are never the same again.
From “The Reed of God” by Caryll Houselander
Most people know
the sheer wonder
that goes with
falling in love,
how not only does
everything in heaven
and earth become new,
but the lover himself
becomes new.
It is literally like
the sap rising
in the tree,
putting forth
new green
shoots of life.
