How do we conceptualize love and measure it?
What is it about the connection we have with another human being or with God that it can seem to transcend such divisions, experiences, and barriers seemingly set in place to where even distance and silence cannot squelch it because it is felt in the heartbeat of the earth, the whispers of the wind, and the pull of the ocean?
Truly, love is amazing.
“Ocean Size Love”
Leigh Nash, Blue on Blue, 2006
Songwriter: Scott Michael Cutler, Anne Preven, & Leigh Nash
I know what I’m doing may be dumb
I know I should not be staring at the sun
But the thought of it leads me to temptation
It’s the same whatever side you’re on
Separated we are delicate and small
And the space, between us, leads my retention
I see it right in front of me, as close as you can get
And the greater you will lead, as a daydream gets
And it might seem much too far, to get back to where you are
But it’s close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can’t reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I’ll pick it up, with an ocean size love
I don’t have to worry any more
If I really need you I’ll go to the shore
And the thought that I’ll be there is my protection
I see it right in front of me, a vision in my head
And I know this is as real, as a daydream gets
And it might seem much too far, to get back to where you are
But it’s close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can’t reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I’ll pick it up, with an ocean size love
You make no sound, but I can hear you in the wind
I can see this never ends, like the sea, like you for me
And it’s close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can’t reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I’ll pick it up, with an ocean size love
And it might seem much too far, to get back to where you are
But it’s close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can’t reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I’ll pick it up, with an ocean size love
ballerina
once my pride
a thorn in my side
allow me
to say
i am west
of you
but not the best of you
talk to me Gwen!
