"Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces."
Hannah Arendt 1906-1975, Philosopher

#94 You Are My Ocean
Your essence washes over me,
Flooding me with emotion.
Your current grabs hold
And tosses me into a stormy sea.

Mystery lies deep within,
A vast body of life,
Where your soul swims with mine,
When we touch skin to skin.

Your voice calls out to me,
Seagulls singing in the ocean breeze,
A sad melody of yearning,
That longs for a special place to be.

With each deep breath I take,
Salty tears wrap around me,
Longing to be with you,
When I am asleep and awake.

Like diamond jewels of the night sky,
And grains of sparkling glass in the sand,
Your eyes draw me to a place of peace,
Where my heart fills with joy and I want to cry.


"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." Aristotle (BC 384-322), Greek Philosopher

"Nuptial love makes mankind; friendly love perfects it; but wanton love corrupts and debases it." Francis Bacon (1561-1626), British Philosopher

"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving." Amy Carmichael 1867-? Irish Missionary

"Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all." Gilbert K. Chesterton 1874-1936, British Author

"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like." St. Augustine (354-430), Numidian-born Bishop
