Loving Love

I am going to be traveling unexpectedly to tend to some personal issues, so posting may be a bit lighter than usual today. That said, I couldn’t resist leaving you with these Ben Harper lyrics that have been swirling in my head this week. When life gets crazy and days seem dark, I’m always amazed by the power of true love to empower our lives. Here’s hoping you all have or find the one who makes you happiest in life…anything less just isn’t enough.

There is not a river wide
Not a mountain high
And neither sin nor evil
Could change how I feel inside
Could change how I feel inside
Not all the strength of the ocean
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
Now, others have tried, I just can’t deny
To me you are the one
To me you are the one
The true love is priceless
For true love you pay a price
But there’s nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice
Like a hero or a champion
You are the best, you’re the best
Like religion or superstition
With you I am blessed
With you I am blessed
Now the river may grow wider
The mountain may reach past the sky
And wether or not you feel same
My love shall never die
My love shall never die
The true love you give and take
The true love is sacrifice
But there’s nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice

– Ben Harper, Not Fire Not Ice
