What is love?
To answer that question, we must relate to experience on our behalf. We hold hands with our equals, our companions, the sharers in our joys and sorrows. We communicate back and forth in a manner that transcends language. Not a word is spoken, yet a million books could not contain the wealth of our connection.
We rely not on the trifles of humanity's dependences. The emotional strain that humans impose upon themselves render them unable to embrace the true depth of their potential. They render themselves creatures of habit. They only allow themselves to experience what they believe themselves to be deserving of.
They could have so much more, yet they reject what is within them.
To embrace emotion with open arms... to embrace emotion like lovers coming together to share an intimate kiss... to become one with the emotion within... That is what they have tried to hide away from themselves for so long. They have forgotten the truth about their soul.
Have they lost their soul?
Most certainly not. That spark of divinity lies within everyone. We bathe ourselves in the light of our divinity, while humanity does the opposite. They form factions among themselves demanding turning away from the light. They shun the light, deeming it as a form of witchcraft. They bolster their external shells of logic for miles, making opaque what was once clear.
Yet some have found the light. Some have taken our hands and joined us in fruitful harmony. They have never returned to their past lives. The present lives within them; the past is a memory and a lesson; they think not of the past once its use has become exhausted. They then walk in the light of now, not in the darkness of past, nor in the uncertainty of future.
Gardevoir.
It is a name maligned by far too many. It is a name uttered with objectification and carelessness. It is a call to battles trivial and meaningless in the scope of things. It is spoken in the past as their hearts have become encircled by darkness. It is spoken in the future as their only goal is to be victorious.
What victory?
Is it considered a victory to use the souls of nature to earn oneself an achievement? Is it considered a victory to bask in egotistical vanity as one reads their own achievements out loud to themselves? Is it considered a victory at all? It depends on what perspective is sought. If victory is all that is considered, then life becomes based on what is done.
Yet we do not believe that the meaning of life is based on the achievements of one's life, but that the meaning of life is based on what is inside one's soul. The heart of every soul is the meaning of their life. To embrace the true self and to let go of the barriers is the penultimate goal in one's life. To not only be honest to others, but to be honest to self and honest in full; that is true life.
Through true life arises love.
Is this romantic love? Is this familial love? Is it...
This love is transcendent. It defies description and is to be felt to be appreciated. To hold our hands is to share in this beautiful unity. To hold our hands means to be enveloped in the all-encompassing love. To feel the divine spark of those all around... to feel the essence of purity ring through the soul... a melodious, sonorous lilt calming the soul in its ethereal song, a purifying peace embracing the heart within, a most wondrous harmony, a...
We could speak for all eternity, yet our love would never be fully explained.
Let go.
The worries are holding the soul back.
Happiness and joy live within, waiting to be awoken from their quiet sleep.
Hold our hands and let us communicate our essence.
Close your eyes.
Become one with the never-ending wonder.
Become one with us.
Become one of us.
Become one with empathy.
Embrace what is within.
Let understanding become full.
This is true victory.
True victory is not winning the competition. True victory is not rising to the top of the world just to have the soul hollowed out with a knife. True victory is not a rank in the world of ranks unending.
True victory is coming together to succeed as one. True victory is embracing each other and building each other up without end. True victory is sailing beyond the seas of prejudice and arriving at the land of contentment and community. True victory is looking past the differences and embracing what is shared between everyone.
The spark of divinity.
