Love.... my mortal quest

Life and love are both equally indescribable.
Sure I can attempt to describe the beauty of life and the depth of love, but I only ever offer a shadow (a visual snapshot) of what both really are.
Have you noticed how we are drawn to both of these almost more than any other thing?
My belief is life was never intended to be put in a picture frame and enjoyed from a distance, but rather to be experienced with all six senses (yes, six).
Life was meant to be overwhelmingly beautiful; a beacon to it's creator.
And love… love is the greatest quest in life. To love and be loved is my mortal quest. If love was not greater than ourselves, and could be contained in a poem, book or picture, why then do I run so hard towards it, when I often times know it will be full of hurt as well as joy? It's because love, true love, is worth seeking; and does not produce fear, but peace, joy and happiness—and that's what I desire.
True love is above us; and something to be attained.
Fill me with wonder forever, let me LOVE fully and without fear…..
I have not attained this beautiful element we call love, I like you, am on the journey towards it. I do not have the answers, but I can encourage you to pursue it with with intention; Live it. Be it, and you will not only find it, but you will begin to be the change you want to see in the word…
much love (though imperfect)
