love gives life reason
it gives it meaning,
& worth.
it diminishes the pain of being alive.
& makes everything more beautiful.
it makes the world feel limitless,
and it makes you feel infinite.
it makes the nonsense into perfect sense,
& the bad things turn better.
& even though we should already know, it confirms that we are special, and wanted, and needed on this earth.
we have a soul purpose and that is to love and be loved.
love is the ultimate force of creation.
it has the power to bring new life into existence,
the power of gods one might say,
& it lies within us, within our love.
through love and lack there of,
we learn some of the best lessons life has to offer us.
it never asks for anything back,
it is unconditional and completely natural.
people, plants, animals, the universe, we all need love and care to continue living.
and although we all need and desire love,
we hesitate to give and feel it fully.
we are afraid of using it, loosing it, or abusing it.
we fear rejection and the unknown.
but really nothing should be more comforting and familiar to you then the feeling of love.
it's somewhat of a novelty now,
manufactured love,
bought and sold and ready to go.
but money can't by love, nobody can.
it's only real if it comes from within.
but people are so guarded to go within is a very difficult task,
we're all wearing these masks.
but if everyone tried,
to listen instead of ignore
to give instead of take
to help instead of hinder or harm
and to love instead of hate
then living wouldn't be so hard.
you should try to positively effect every human you cross paths with.
notice, embrace, and respect the journey they are on.
take the opportunity to learn and experience something or someone  outside of your familiar routine life.
share your love with the world and it will share its love with you.
empty your vessel and you will be refilled with wondrous beauty and enlightenment.
because that's what love is,
it's enlightenment,
for your body, mind, and spirit.
so be love, be hope, & be kindness.
we can love through our blindness.
you be here for me, and Ill be there for you
& the next time we meet we will learn and love together.

'love is everywhere, it has no distance,
all you have to do is stop the resistance.'

Sofia clung tightly to the black tipped violet wings of the tenuous butterfly.
She softly pleaded to the intricate friend.
"Please stay," a tear caressing her cheek,
"don't leave me."
Her mother walked up behind her.
"Oh honey, don't hang onto his wings, you will only **** him."
Sofia turned to her mother's chocolate eyes and quietly muttered,
"Let go of my wings mommy."
Greek meaning of Sofia is "wise"

Come child,
Wash those cobwebs from your eyes,
let not that sadness clutter your vision.
I know your mistakes and faults keep you up,
wrap them away, your silk thoughts, and bury them
within you.
We all know misery thrives on sorrow,
and infected hands handle peace.
I see the black veins in your gaunt hands,
and soon we will all know ,
the messenger of mercy, is the heart-
becoming silent, only speaking with a language of tears.
And not even you my dear,
can escape from the sticky entanglement
that murders beauty and passion.
