Love is a Four Letter Word

Having joined the Pagan Blog Project a good way into the year I thought it would be fitting for me to start with Love as my chosen L word.

Please excuse me as the "fluffy bunny" side comes out mixed with the Dark Mama! ;-)

Love is a very valuable tool for any witchling to have in their repertoire.

Love can heal or harm, just like magic can be either.

Love is amazingly powerful!

Love is the strongest of bonds that joins a mother and child long after the cord that connects them has been cut. It is the bond that cements when the crying newborn quiets at the sound of it's mother's voice and suckles at her breast. It can be witnessed almost enviously, when a child stares into it's mother's eyes.

Love is in the passion that flares between lovers. It is felt in the ebb and flow of a passionate embrace. It is known by the guileless laughter and joy that lovers can share in the most carnal moments. It smolders in a knowing smile.

Love is the quiet stillness that swells the heart when Mama Nature blesses us with a glimpse of her beauty. It is seen in a sunrise on a mountain top. It is felt in the clean wild air that gracefully caresses the skin.

Love is the greatest gift when a living being sacrifices it's own life to save another. It is shared in the story of a K-9 who jumps into the path of a bullet meant for it's handler. It's in the sacrifice a mother makes to protect and save her children.

Love is the gentle touch that comforts. Love is in the kiss that heals a scraped knee. Love is the breathless moment of "I do". Love is an old couple walking hand in hand down the street. Love is a grandson gently helping his grandmother into a car.

Love isn't all sunshine and flowers.Love has a dark side as well.

Love can be the teary cry of heartache at a lover's indiscretion. Love can be the angry ex that kills the formal spouse out of jealousy. Love can be the boyfriend that weeps after he beats his girlfriend out of fear and insecurity.

Love can change lives.

Love is strangers running to the scene of an accident to offer comfort and aide. Love is a nurse comforting a dying patient. Love is a community gathering to honor a child beaten to death by his family.

Love is the teacher that takes the extra time to help a student with a learning disorder. Love is the coach that pushes the athlete to improve himself. Love is the mentor that holds a client accountable to improving his or her situation.

Love is looking at the mentally or physically challenged without fear or judgement. Love is becoming a foster parent to a child born with a drug addiction. Love is teaching our children not to judge others by the way they look.

Love is looking at someone who has hurt you and saying I forgive you. Love is listening as your ex rants and raves about everything that is your fault and understanding why they are doing what they. Love is looking at an enemy and really seeing where they are coming from.

Love is looking at yourself in the mirror and accepting yourself as you are. Love is facing your inner deamons and finding the love you have always had for you.

Love is finding Spirit within. Love is seeing Spirit in everything around you.

Love is looking at your life and saying, "Thank you!"

The strongest magic is done from a place of Love. When you love yourself enough to know and accept who you truly are, your magic will be so much stronger.

Love is taking control of and truly living your life.

Love is knowing that Spirit is within us all! Love is what connects us to this world. Love is what connects us to each other.

Love can hurt and Love can heal.

Love can change the world!

See in Love.

Be with Love.

Share the Love.

Namaste

Many Blessings and Much Much Love,
~Faye~
