Love as Potential

2 minute read

I know that a very long time has passed since I last shared my thoughts. I could not put forward mere words without lived experience...

Of course, one can speak about love as a divine existence, as one speaks about God, because love is the only state we can know, experience and live more deeply than the idea of God given to us by religions.

There is a long road from simple human love, which can extend as far as sacrifice for a symbolic human ideal that exists only as an idea yet holds a potential future or existence, or towards a sacrifice closer to our nature and our love of those near us, to infinite and absolute love, which can be lived as a state either towards a person or simply through its own existence.

Love experienced simply as a state of love, without an object to support it, already becomes an abstract idea or a practice drawn from the fantastic. Yet the potential to live it exists in every moment of our lives. It depends only on which path we take and which ideals we choose.

When you live and experience this infinite and absolute love, you will try to describe it and give it to others, concentrated into words that will touch the same waves within the souls of those who are searching for it. Some more, some less... what matters is that they are searching.

An open and searching heart will always find the path, the ideals, the symbols and the people who are striving to fulfil love in their lives.

I will always find the energy and the will to express my inner thoughts through the intense experience of infinite and absolute love, because what I live and express may help or soothe wounds and inner struggles that we do not understand, and especially those for which we can find neither a direction nor a soul that feels the same.
