Pardon me while I think out loud...

"Love" is not simply a word.  Or even an exact expression.  It is almost indefinable it its true essence.  But there is no mistaking it, as it permeates the smallest blades of grass and the grandness of The Universe, God or no gods.  We can't hold it, own it or create it.  Love is only available to borrow for our own hearts to share, or it is useless.  And I don't care how you might argue, Love and its eternal companions, Forgiveness and Compassion, can be found in the very same beasts that must kill one another to simply survive.  Mankind is not innocent of that necessity, nor holds exclusive rights to the higher or lower orders of behavior.  Love is not perfection.  I believe that is the only way it can be within Us.  But it tells no secrets, does it?  It only resides if invited, but then in so many attempts to work its harmony to our own individual music.  To make us better than we are.  To hold our Prodigal Sons close again.  To bring the better angels of our humanity to understanding.  And then to wonder, "What is this?".
