I believe that Love is the only thing that's perfect on Earth, and that Love is the greatest gift anyone can give to another person. One of my favorite descriptions of Love besides what the Bible talks of it is by Khalil Gibran. I will quote him from one of his famous works "The Prophet"
[i]When love beckons to you follow him,
though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
he kneeds you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you maker become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrest of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
then is is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be posessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
Whe you love you should no say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God"
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fufill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bled willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
to rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
to return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in our heart and a song of priase upon your lips.[/i]
