And like a God, along with the hypnotic beauty and mesmerizing perfection, there is the evanescent fire and rain that comes along with walking in the presence of Gods. Knowing them is not for the weak of mind or heart and being a love interest and life partner of one, even more so.

We have been reading various passages from various authors over the past nearly two years that talk about the “God in You” and “You are God”. These books in a way seem to confirm for me what I have already known since being with my wife: we live and walk among the Gods of this earth, this universe, not realizing whom they are and I think more importantly, who we are.

I have found out one very important thing about myself since I’ve been with her. This lesson always seems to come too late, after the proverbial “deed is done” but nevertheless, I still find myself reflecting on it like my own image from a mirror: I do not really know what LOVE is.

I think I know, I want to know, sometimes – a lot of times, I profess to know what love is, but when tested, I find it hard to even-handedly and steadily hold on to the definition of what I believe I know…..that Love just Is.

Love is not angry or jealous, it does not brag or boast, it does not even take up righteousness for its’ name sake. Love just is. Love is unconditional, the human mind is not. Love is not scared or blameful, the human mind is. Love embodies none of the issues that we as humans have with one another. It is not tit-for-tat or this-for-that ….but we are.

And when we find ourselves in the most trying of times, in positions of fear and anger and jealousy (and we do because we are human after all) how we act, or act out has a profound effect on those around us, those we care for, and those we love. And sometimes, we do not show love in the way it is meant to be defined – that way is not a Christian or Jewish or Muslim or Atheist or any other religions definition. It just is.

It does not really matter to me that you do not take my beliefs to heart. I know what I know and I believe what I believe. I love and live with and walk along side a Goddess, of beauty and of mind and spirit.

And with that, I am publicly and profoundly inept and inadequate – at times, not always, but certainly at times, in showing my goddess the abilities we all have in each of our spirits – Love that just Is.
