LOVE/EVOLVE

What you affirm in others you affirm in yourself, by virtue of recognition. Beauty is in the eye, heart, and mind of the beholder. To behold beauty is to embrace beauty. To embrace beauty is to embody beauty. To bear witness to love is to be shown love. To be shown love is to know love. We affirm something when we come to know it as the truth. When we see it, we can point it out. When we hear it, we can speak on it. When we taste it, we can describe it and perhaps recreate it from memory. When we smell it, we can identify or inquire of its origin. When we touch it, we can feel it. Actions speak volumes where words only scratch the surface and hint at or allude to something that is known of. Love stops being symbolic, and becomes symbiotic when shared, because to know love is to be receptive to love; but, to give love is to have love, and/or be equip with the capacity/space for that love to be held/housed. It is said, you are not a drop in the ocean but the ocean in a drop. This is as universal a truth as the saying that everything is relatively interconnected. The sooner you see beyond your perceived separateness, the more connection you will experience. The more connected your experience, the richer, deeper, and more meaningful your experience can be. We are all made of the same stuff on an elemental level. You are not in nature as something that is apart from nature; you are in nature as something that is a part of nature. You are a key component… as essential as any element. Seeing our similarities is like peering into the miraculous. If I can see myself in you, I can also see beyond myself. If I can be inspired and given rise to, I can similarly inspire and uplift.
