I have been asked a question (Mother looks for a note):

How can I love the Lord? I have never seen Him and never He speaks to me.

This is my answer:

It is not what one sees or hears that one loves, it is love that one loves through the forms and sounds, and of all love the most perfect love, the most loving love is the Lord's love.

When I wrote it, it was an extraordinarily intense experience: one cannot love anything but love, and it is love that one loves behind all things - it is love that one loves.

It is Love that loves itself everywhere.

And form and sound are excuses.

(silence)

Do you find it hard to understand?

!?

No, because I gave it to N. to read - he just blinked; I gave it to U. to read - he just blinked.... So do you ... blink, too?

No! I find it ...

Oh, good! Then it's all right! If at least one person understands, that's enough.

That's the truth, it IS love.... Others will understand.

I like that. It has a sort of childlike simplicity: "... and the most perfect love, the most loving love is the Lord's love."
