Love, the Governor of Human Life

“The power that governs human life is love, only love” (Kierkegaard, echoing myriads of other minds before him). To gaze is to look steadily and intently, as with great curiosity, interest, pleasure and wonder.

Our gaze is an act that is always in potency (like the acorn and the oak). It is like striving after the highest good, the gaze upon Beauty. The fixing of the eyes of our hearts, the gazing, presupposes a blocking out or a detachment from everyone else or everything else. The more we let go, the clearer and simpler our vision becomes. But that itself is also something to detach from, and rather something that we must allow to happen to us.

Today is about Love and that loving gaze.
