The Fountain of Love - Jean-Honoré Fragonard

Q: How do we embody love itself? By loving. Are there words?

A: No, there are no words. We gesture at it with words like “love” and “adoration” but it is beyond language. Whatever this force is that unites and glues people to each other is at the heart of our best virtues as a species. It is the animating purpose behind getting up every morning and living. Whatever this force is it is potent and I am beyond grateful for it.
