! Love And Understanding

Who today would praise consciousness itself, which brings new life and thought every morning, opening our minds a little more, making the light seem brighter, everything more vivid, life itself more worth living? This morning, I read the words ‘Love itself is understanding’… and in the mind, doors blew open, windows rattled, a wind that smelled of spring and grass and rain blew through the mind and the word love blew off the dusty shelf along with the cobweb but lay unbroken on the floor waiting to be washed and put back next to understanding and the silliest, biggest gift of all is to know for the first time what you’ve always known and which nearly two thousand years ago Gregory the Great also recognised for the first time, maybe felt the same way, as if he was entrusted with the key to a large house on a windy day.
