The Knight


There's something about love...
and the way that it swiftly binds people together.
Something about peace and the joy in brings among people.
Something about the complete serenity of hope...
There's something about today,
About the controlled atmosphere that is awaiting tomorrow.

...

People are waiting, across the world, for love.
They look for it under rocks, in pets and food.
They look for fufillement in romantic entanglements, in money, in family...
They look for love on street corners, in coffee shops, online...
But I've come to the sad conclusion that no one really looks for love in their hearts.

Being bold and strong and courageous.
Being filled with life and completeness,
Being unhurt, unheld, and unabolished....
is only a figment of imaginations.


What is real,
What is plausible
is HURT.


What happens is pain,

But what also happens is love.


Love has the ability, the endless proportion to spill from the insides, the cracks and spaces of endless time. Love has the ability to curb a hungry stomache, to calm a whirling mind. Love is what we see and what we do not.
But most of all, Love is God.

....

....


People are so content on looking for love in storybooks, in fairytales with knights in shining armour...But who are these guys?

Who are they...

Well, they're people. They are people who have the ability to make mistakes; who fall off of their horses every once in a while...

I guess the problem is that while we are looking for these knights we miss the KNIGHT. The King. The Savour in shining armour...Our prince.
With our minds so full of love that is "real"....we miss the real thing.

With our minds so full of the love we think we want...we miss it. I think a lot of the time, we miss him.
