More on Love. When someone ask you to write an article on love, think twice, it may take you a lifetime! Here’s few notes towards an article about Love.

I can’t stop thinking about how central Love is to being human! And how can I keep from singing about Love…it’s the Core of Reality! And also, what gets us through the daily grinds, we all face constantly! If, as St John tells us, “God is Love”, we are in trouble if we don’t know that metaphysical space we call Love.

I’ve noticed that the amount I love others, relates in exact measure or proportion, to how deeply I allow myself to be loved by God ultimately, but also other people. My receptivity to Love creates my productivity in it to others. Love your neighbor as yourself, sort of assumes you have allowed yourself to be loved; the commandment to love others, then takes on another light. I can only love you, from the part, and to the degree or measure I’ve let love in. So in one sense, we should be practicing being loved, as much as loving. The spiritual practice of receiving love is underrated! But if I can’t receive it, how can I give it! Love is a litmus test for your beliefs. And it burns red daily on the parts which are true to what is Real.

Either way we have to get “in” love, as that’s where God always hangs out. That’s where His Being resides. This is where the Son and Father are still talking, even if you don’t believe it. This is why He is always found with the poor and homeless. They make God’s love obvious, overt. Love is where Reality is. People are afraid to talk about love, too sentimental, or simplistic, too much talked about and not from (which is true), but God’s not afraid to talk about love. Every book He wrote is a love poem! As are we-his Love poems! And Love goes out of its way to pronounce itself!

i think we still get embarrassed by a gospel of love. But we can’t really hide from it either, though we have a built in proclivity towards hiding. We also have an innate need both to be loved and to love. Might as well be loved, so at least we are useful in loving others! If love still embarrass us, as it did our original parents, who cares, we still desperately need it daily. Just thinking about essentials today—one is obviously, Love. Be loved, that you may love.
