A Psalm, according to the lilies of the valleys. Of the Son.
What is love? A feeling? Emotion? Object? Action or word? What is Love? I sought to find its meaning, and understand it's mystery. I climbed up the highest mountain, I imagined; a place this high will touch the peak of love. But I didn't find love on that high mountain. I climbed back down furious at the effort I had put into climbing the mountain for it had proved futile, and I walked, until I came to a great sea of waters at the foot of the tall mountain, at its far end. I smiled, waters this great and spreading wide whose depth touches the deep of the earth must be filled with an abundance of love. I jumped into that mighty waters and I descended to its depth in search of the meaning of love, but at its depth was an abundance of worthless treasures and an emptiness of love. As I held hard breath, I rushed out of this great waters and as I regained spirit, I detested such risky and fruitless journey. I went on from there, but my zeal kept me on this path, I had to understand this mystery, and I came across many who were sons of men, who looked like me. I rejoiced that my relentless pursuit had been rewarded, and surely these of my kind will teach me knowledge of what I sought, but my disappointment was immeasurable when I realized it was completely strange to them, none of them was familiar with it and swore it doesn't exist, Lo there was none who understood it's meaning. With a furious anger, I began to dig, and was determined to keep digging until I found out this mystery for it continues to elude me. I came across water, precious stones of all kinds, but none was precious to me, I dug deeper until I came to were the depth of the earth was marked, and could dig no further. Only the deep abyss was to be found there. Distraught and completely out of strength, I lay there at the depths of the earth, and out of the silence of this solitary confinement, the familiar voice of the Master of days, the Lord of the ages, called out to me; Beloved, why do you look for apples on a broom tree? Come, and I will teach you the knowledge you desire. And at that moment His mighty right hand was stretched out to me and He pulled me out of the depth of the earth and set me on dry ground but all around the storm of His furious anger blew and the mighty waters that stood before me trembled with violent waves of fear at this great storm and it was greatly unsettled. #part2
Through the great storm, the Creator of all things made known this mystery; why dost thou seek to know this? And why has it eluded you? Is this not what has formed the earth and the Heavens, and the great deep, and all that is in them? Did it not breathe spirit into man after he was created in my image? Surely it was it that had compassion when man fell, and covered his shame with skins. Even when all the earth was filled with corruption, and was doomed for destruction, this saved for itself a remnant of mankind, with a paltry wooden shelter, and multiplied this remnant on the face of the earth until they had covered it. It came in form of a word of promise to a righteous man, and in his old-age it was hurried into fulfilment with the cries of a new born child. It dwelt with this child, and made him great among his people, until his descendants grew into great nations, and through this child it named all the children of the earth. It continued among them with power, and when oppressed it mustered great warriors to rescue them from their oppressors, until the time when it would come in form of a man like them, to ransom them once for all from sin and death. After it had achieved this, it became a choice and a free gift, that all who may accept and receive it will live forever with it.
Hmmmn, I considered all the fruitless efforts and toil i put into understanding this mystery, all I had to do all the while was ask Him, Behold He has filled me with the wisdom to understand this mystery, and it was clear to me now; Love is whatever you make of it, it is a word, an action, an assurance, a sacrifice, a purpose or intention, love is a person, and it could also be people, love is anything and everything you want it to be, it is that little thing that means everything to someone, set the heart right, and Love will fill it and inhabit it until it overflows and all around are drenched in its overflow. #part3
Again the Aleph and the Ya'a called out to me, this time from the other side of the great but trembling waters and His furious storm, for He had ridden on it to the other side that blossomed with abundance of peace and prosperity, where no worries or pain or sorrow was, and He said; Come! I was surprised and afraid and I said, Lord but Thou knowest that I have burned all my bridges. And He answered me and said; hast thou learnt nothing? In repentance I understood, that to truly love, is to completely trust. And I said f**k it, I'll just walk on this great waters, through this turbulent storm, and so I did, and waiting for me on the other side was an open arm of warm and comforting embrace, He called it Love. And He sat me upon the throne, and set beautiful crowns on my head, and charged me to rule over this beautiful land flowing with milk and honey where all is well and our souls prosper. Selah.
