One true love.... (ahhhh....LOVE!)

 I do love... or at least try to love. I love in several ways and I love good, bad, ugly... etc.. I can talk abolut love and obviously I can  write about love (herein). I can define love and deconstruct love and, most simply -- LOVE. 

I am a student of Erich Fromm's book: The art of love... And I take from that a basic distinction between love as a verb and love as a noun. I like (even love?) the idea of love as a verb.

My struggle is love as a noun. Being "in love" is viewing love as a noun, an object, dear I say a thing. I do like things... but really not so much. Therefore I wonder if and/or when I am "in love"... and then an object as well as having an object. Furthermore, I think many people view love as a noun and so I can wonder about me having something wrong with me... as objectifying love is both difficult and something I would argue is not right!

Love as a verb is a set of actions and feelings and I would say love is of the moment and is fleeting, transitory, soft, and yet powerfully sodld. 

I would say -- love is similar to G-d as G-d is impossible and wrong to define and limit and when both are seen as actions or actors... i,.,e - as verbs doing ... it is then we touch on something special and good.

Ah... GOOD??? There are so many ways to wonder about the goodness of love and/or G-d since actions (as well as things) are subjectively viewed or experienced and as each of us is a special and distinct subject we bring or interpretations into the judgement... AND our judgements are always more limited then the span of realities that are love and G-d.

You and I are objects. We are limited by our brains and bodies and hearts and the time we have to live. We are also taught we are "in G-d's image" - while also being taught G-d has no image. For G-d to have an image would be to idolize G-d... which is rightfully forbidden. We humans are limited but there much beyond our limits.. and there may be found love and G-d... Infinity - The Infinit ... The All... The Nothing... 

And so - today, September 1, 2021, I write this... and declare --- what I think and feel is most important in this world we can know .. .IS LOVE and I do love and I feel love ... and I am happy!
