If we are to speak of truth, then we must speak of love

"If we are to speak of truth, then we must speak of love, for there is no higher truth than love. Before you were, there was love, nothing else. You are, quite literally, made out of love.

Quotes by J.V. Love (?)

“My love is like a shadow, forever following you. There behind you
Around you,
I always surround you.
Look for me when winter dances with your heart,
And steal your warmth
Because its what you most need
To visit the place where the ice stops you.
Do not fear the fall.
You'll find me there, but do not call my name
Is written everywhere.
I'm always there,
A baby's breath away,
The sun of may...
There, behind you.”

“He looked in disgust at the piles of sandbags surrounding peter the great's statue. He wanted to tear them off and let the "bronze horseman" ride again, to have him point the way and lead his countrymen out of the hopelessness and siege they found themselves in. They needed peter's will of iron more than anything.”

“To sin is to speak or act in a way that denies we are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of God. A sin is something done from a belief of separateness, that what you say or do to others has no consequences for your own happiness and well-being.”
