Lovers are the ones who....

Lovers are the ones who know most about God; the theologian must listen to them. -Hans Urs von Balthasar; from the book Love Alone is Credible, p. 12

i had the good fortune of spending some time today with a 'lover.'  meaning.... a person who loves.  this particular person loves with all her heart.  she beams and radiates life and joy. just being with her made my day :-)

it's pretty cool that a theologian would say that theologians need to listen to lovers.  i think he had someone like my friend in mind when he wrote that.  :-)

we all have our 'way' of loving and whatever that might be, quiet, loud; as an introvert or extrovert; let's be lovers.

wouldn't it be amazing if we were all loving in such a way that we radiated life and joy to those around us? where to start?  seriously.  ;-)
