Heaven declares: the sum of Everything is Love

That is the best summation of Good Vs Evil I have read, pun not intended.

When the central idea for this poem came to me, it felt revelatory.

I love this, so true and profound.

This is very close to what I believe, and it is written in a manner that resonates greatly with me. Thank you for sharing something so lovely.

I've been working on this one for a while. I had the central idea, the difficulty was in fleshing it out. When the central idea came to me (the Sum Of Everything Is Love, and Love tends to Infinity, versus Love Is Naught) it made so much sense.

It does take a while to flesh out a poem, doesn't it? You want it to be just right. I think you got it just right.

That's really beautiful. Well done, you.

I love this poem. Not only is it a great summation of the major differences between Good and Evil, but the theme of pure mathematics suits it wonderfully.

And I love the structure, balanced stanza to stanza, with words chosen carefully--it works as well as a poem as it does a creed.

BTW, I hope you will take it as the compliment I mean it for to say it sort of reminds me of CS Lewis.

Would you mind dreadfully if I linked to this in one of my Lent posts this week? (I try to make a post of something uplifting or thought-provoking or joyful or just inspiring each day during Lent.) It's too late for today to get your permission, I'm sure, but if you say it's OK, I would like to use it tomorrow or the next day?

If not, I understand. Some people don't want strangers rushing to their LJs.

You have just fulfilled one of my life's ambtions: to be compared to Lewis.

I would be most pleased.

I posted it here: http://dreamflower02.livejournal.com/743597.html

It just went up (2:09PM, US Central DST), so I doubt anyone's seen it yet.
