How Big Love Can Be


"What, along this journey is not divine?  The imponderable nature of the universe and the wonder of our own miraculous ensouled bodies falling in love, witnessing acts of compassion and bravery, and on occasion, enacting them ourselves make us the moth that seeks the flame.  The imponderable cannot be known, but it can and must be pondered, and so we do as the moth does: we buzz around that curious, enchanting flame, exploring it, daring ourselvse to dance closer and closer and closer to the light we cannot live without -- until, finally, unable to control ourselves any longer, we dive into the flame and lovingly lose ourselves.  In touching others we are transformed; in transforming ourselves, we touch others.  Loving the Beloved, we become the beloved.  We realize how big love can be."  Trebbe Johnson, The World is Awaiting Lover
