love is the revolution

[coyotesuspect]

I'm a romantic.



And I'm happy that I know you.


Yes. You.



I have found the paradox; that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
-Mother Teresa



A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another.
-John 13:34



Whoso loves, believes the impossible.
-Elizabeth Barret Browning



Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
-CS Lewis



Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-Oscar Wilde



Where there is love, there is life.
-Mohandas Gandhi



My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
-William Shakespeare



A man is not where he lives, but where he loves.
-Latin Proverb



And to revive a meme that I did a couple months ago:

Comment here and I will tell you why I like/love you.

Even if we don't talk much, heck even if we have NEVER spoken, I want EVERYONE to participate. If you want to share the love and do the same at your journal, go ahead. You're under no obligation to carry it on if you comment here.

Go on everyone needs more love in their life.

Sonnet 17

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
in which there is no I or you
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand
so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close

-Pablo Neruda

This is probably the most beautiful love post I've ever seen.

SUPRISE!REVERSE!MEME:
I adore you, Coyote. I love how smart you are, sometimes I think just being friends with you raises my intelligence and awareness of the world around me. You're such a thinker, and that makes me want to think, and isn't that just AWESOME? You are HILARIOUS. It's like I know I'm going to make my tummy hurt from laughing every time you post, and I love that. I love that you're friends with everyone, not just on their flist, but actually FRIENDS. You care about people, and that makes people care about you. You are a fantastic writer, to this day I remember the first time I read your stories, it was the burning of paper instead of children, and it seriously gave me CHILLS. At that moment, I just knew we were destined to be friends.
ANYWAY, I JUST LOVE YOU. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. ♥

Omigawsh. *blushes and flails* THANK YOU! ♥ ♥ ♥

Now allow me to return the favor!

I remember when I was but a wee!coyote and brand new to lj, and you (back when you were miss_meimei) commented on a couple of my fic. And you had a Parker icon! So I stalked you back to your lj (naturally) and saw that you were awesome and really wanted to friend you but was too shy to!

We eventually became friends anyway, only you'd changed your name and I didn't realize you were also miss_meimei. Then I realized who you were and got so excited because you were that awesome person I'd wanted to friend, and here you were, being awesome on my flist. Because our friendship was FATED.

But that's just a story. That's not why I love you.

I love you because you're sweet and fun and we have the same brain and awesome red heels. Your enthusiasm for things is infectious. And I love that you're a complete goofball, and I can just be silly and spastic and flaily with you. I love you because of how joyful you are. Even when you're down, you still have a sense of humor and can see the bright side of things. I love you because you make me happy.
