An Ode to Love

Love.

Love.

It makes the world go round.

Sometimes I wonder, does it really?

I started looking. . .

Looking for love in all the right places you could say.

Here’s what I found.

word LOVE sidewalk graffitti

Love – rock solid like the concrete on which this graffiti was spray painted.

“Love doesn’t just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.” – Ursula K. LeGuin

Love Me Tender name on boat

Love – days of smooth sailing along side days of stormy weather.

“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.” – Nicholas Sparks 

glass hearts

Love – fragile in its beauty, long-lasting when cared for.

“i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)” – e. e. cummings 

I love you graffiti on brick wall

Love – messy and uncontrolled.

“Where there is love there is life.” – Gandhi 

rocks on sand in shape of heart

Love – publicly displayed, vulnerable to the elements.

“One love, one heart, one destiny.” – Bob Marley

Stop.

Right now…look around your world.

When you look for love, what do you see?

  1. Sandi,
    It’s a slow, hot day here at home…no rhyme or reason to it. The ids are happy and I’m putzing (?) around trying to get in the swing of anything. Twitter was a last resort for a 5-min. break. And then I read this beautiful post. I collect a lot of e.e. cummings’ poetry on StumbleUpon. Love him! And,”Love – publicly displayed, vulnerable to the elements.” !! The picture is so perfect. Vulnerability. Seems to be the lesson of my life! Thanks for the post. Very creative!

  2. I see myself. I see love. I see joy. I see people. I see the world, created from love, made of love.

    Everything is love. I am love. You are love.

    Thanks for a beautiful post 🙂
