Love Letter No 27 - Overwhelming Love


Dear Bond,

A poet once asked, "How do I love thee?" and arrived at a lovely moment of repose. Love allows loss of order; counting is useless. Love surpasses the heights men have soared; it is unlimited. Life may have an immense enormity of depth and width. Yet, love's spirit fills all space that is not physically the beloved. Imagine how that mingles with all and in all.

There is a complete peace in the beauty and truth sustained through consummate love. This permanent climate is perfected for the satisfaction of love's embrace and release, involvement and disengagement. To fill love's deepest wounds with healing light, be it sun, twilight's gleam or midnight moon is desire's ancient ache. Add to this fluidity pouring over every ill, hurt, right or wrong. The freshness of chilled breeze to sing brand new life each day. The fire of love born instinctual, breeding fervor that comes oozing from each pore. The light playfulness of trust blooming beautifully through youth's remembrances.

Love's gracious encounter meets each moment of the day in the breath that flows in and out. There is love that encompasses not just "a life", but all of life. That is how this love proclaims itself beyond the ability to express. So if the power that makes life's energy selects heaven on behalf of the lover, even in death there must prove to be something more, greater love, perhaps even more than mortal life affords.

With most tender love and deep abiding affection,

LarryG
