What love has to with silence? has to do with it ? has to do with it? Love is but a 2ndhand emotion. It's due to neurotransmitters in the amygdala.

The way of love is an abstraction. A momumental undertaking for its own sake. Out of the ceaseless beginning less and endless substance, I call Love, All that is Is, All that can be will Be, and Is this moment already now. It is the simultaneous action and reaction, the dissolving of something into nothing and the arrising of something out of nothing. It is none other than the state and story of This. Sing it, dance it, romance it, destroy it, confine it, rue it, hide from it, be blinded in it, fly a kite in it, swim in it, burn in it, yearn for it, die for it, It is none other the Love of This, for This, as This in and of This. What would you call it, Pete? I would even call Love Pete, or Pete Love. An arising from nothing for Pete's sake...
