WHAT THE HEART KNOWS

[2:13:38 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not words.
[2:13:50 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not flattery
[2:14:09 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not being there when the person expects it only.
[2:14:55 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not forming opinions where an open mind is necessary.
[2:15:18 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not the rhetoric of passion,
[2:15:28 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not speaking unnecessarily,
[2:15:44 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not uncertainty dressed as certitude,
[2:15:59 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is the space between acceptance and standard,
[2:16:40 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is the bridge between obstacle and confidence,
[2:17:10 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love traverses all self interest, without denouncing healthful self concern.
[2:17:32 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is the power to bewilder mere charm
[2:17:46 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is the power to nullify mere want
[2:17:53 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: to appeal to genuine need,
[2:19:09 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: and love provides in its capacity understanding, encouragement pursuit, and efforts to establish the bonds between reception of ultimate purposes, and obligations,
[2:20:42 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is a connection between all unities, forming cohesion where the abstruse prevails,
[2:21:24 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is lucid, love is necessity, love is a purity of perfection for the sake of Nature and Culture twined about the harvest of time.
[2:22:04 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is a future memory, cast in the protective layers of hope.
[2:22:54 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is the future of soon, postponement delayed and brought near to soonest aims,
[2:23:35 PM] Peter Theodoropoulos: Love is not what we reason alone, Love is what the heart knows.
