For those of you out there seeking answers, may I suggest
that there are answers, or rather, an answer.
Love.
Jesus said it, Shakespeare set rhyme to it, Einstein deduced
it, the Beatles sang it, Robert Indiana sculpted it, Dr. King and Gandhi and Mother
Teresa fought for it; yet, despite these illustrious and accomplished
proponents, each one of us must discover for ourselves that it is the truth,
and the answer to everything.
Be advised, however, that knowing the answer is not the same as getting the answer, and knowing only marks your starting point on a
new road, not an endpoint. If you’re
like me, what will happen next is that you will realize how perfectly terrible
you are at it, and how far you actually are from your destination.
It will probably shock you to know.
On the other hand, if you’re like me, you’ll be thrilled to
have found the road at all.
Anyway, here’s where I am now on that road, in exactly
fourteen lines…
Love, if
If you seek hope, believe in love
For where there is love there can be hope
If you seek joy, act on love
For where there is love there can be joy
If you seek courage, arm yourself with love
For where there is love there can be courage
If you seek wisdom, know love
For where there is love there can be wisdom
If you seek faith, trust in love
For where there is love there can be faith
If you seek peace, abide with love
For where there is love there can be peace
If you seek them all, be love
And you will have them
Seems like such a small price to pay... |
Very well put. Seems very "Unity-ish." :)
