Beauty.
Beauty is easy to
love
Beauty adorns and is
adorned
Beauty is sought and
seeking makes beauty
Beauty sustains and
beauty needs sustaining
Beauty calls and is
called
Beauty is called to
being in love
Love
Love calls to action
Love observes beauty
and selects it
Love colors the
world
Love is the real
Love is life to
those who love
Love brings meaning
to things and things bring meaning to love
Love orders things.
Loves brings them new meaning, and new color. Love gives things a
place in the world they did not have before.
Beauty and love go
together
Love Makes beauty,
and beauty makes love
There is a searching
to define and describe the lover, the man. Words outside the menial,
the mechanical, the functional. Is it merely a way to make the topic
more polite for mixed company? Or is it a reaching beyond because
love and beauty reach beyond us? And because they point beyond us,
outside of us. Because they tell us that there is something more than
the menial, the mechanical.
The whole of life is
used to describe love. Food and work and landscapes and smells and
places and spices. All are incorporated into this great story of
love. The description points outward as well as inward. Inward toward
the heart in love. And outward towards all of reality.
(thoughts from
reading the Song of Solomon)
