FAITH AND LOVE, TWO WORLDS APART
Faith is of the mind,
Love is of the heart

THE INEFFABLE
Is the infinite
For love, beauty, compassion

LOVE IS THE TRUE GOAL
Of a man's sojourn in life
No passing fancy

RIVULETS OF LOVE
Flow naturally
When not dammed up by the mind

THE MYSTERY OF LOVE
Is that it cannot be solved
Through the intellect

LOVE IS WHAT IT IS
It's existential
Ever evolving

FEELINGS OF LOVE
Strike at the heart's heart
Igniting an inner glow

A "LABOR OF LOVE"
Suggests love's power
Can well lighten any task

A PORTION OF LOVE
A natural nutrient
To imbibe daily

EXPOUNDING ON LOVE
In words, not action
Does not convey its full meaning

ONLY ONE LEVEL BELOW
An adoring God
Is a parent's love

SHOWING THOUGHTFULNESS
Expresses one's inner love
In the outer world

Conveying one's love
Done unselfishly
Can never be overdone

LOVE PARADES ITSELF
In various virtues
Any one of them

PRACTICING VIRTUES *
NOT AS AN END IN THEMSELVES
BUT TO BRING FORTH LOVE

* Compassion 
empathy
generosity
gentleness
kindness
respect

BY THE SAME TOKEN
Love reciprocates
Making one more virtuous

BEING VIRTUOUS
Makes love a reality
All over the world

TRYING TO PLEASE THE OTHER
Not merely one's self
Underlies true love

IMPLEMENTING LOVE
With a gentle word
Ever ready to do more

LET LOVE BE NOURISHED
By whatever is around
For it to feed on

WHEN A LOVED ONE DIES
All of life becomes precious
As never before

THINKING WELL OF ONE'S SELF
Is a pre-condition
For conveying love

LONGING FOR THE LOVE
Seeking selflessness
Is inherent in mankind

WHEN I SHOW LOVING KINDNESS
To others around
I am at my best

LET LOVE BREW IN JOY
Let it seep and seep
Until it colors all of you

FOR TRUE LOVER
Indifference to suffering
Is not an option
