A thought occurred to me— or rather i was suddenly stuck with the form of “Love ” and then “Affection” in their textual form. The very word affection is smokey, effervescent—it starts with that letter that sits on the ground on two and the two unite to become one sharp point which is placed high above…. The double “ff”s fizzles like a warm light that comes off the brightly burning dry twigs— beautiful, glowering, short-lived. it does not stay for long. the rest follow in a train.. all a medley, here and there. the e is succeeded by c which tries to be simpler yet the form changes and so does the meaning… the “tion” is tricky! it is too lengthy— it cannot keep up with the King and the Queen…Yet the “n” (lowercase) houses. stops. ends. 

Turning my attention to the word Love, it became rather a curious formation of symbols… the line that stands vertically fixed on another that merges with the horizon… it Stops the flow. then comes the circle, enclosing, enfolding, to some, limiting. there is no stay— the v is the release to the sky. the infinite awaits and it wall begins in this cup. had it been a “u”, there the work would stop— but this sharp intersection of the lines in “v” disallow from any such rest— the purpose is not comfort—it is flight.. the desire to arise awaken, meet the Infinite space above with all your grace and bravery… and “e” concludes it— a simple ever-present vowel that runs almost invisibly and yet essentially in several hundreds thousands. its form again —half yes,half no. But i found the L most interesting… it’s so easy that the infinity raining from above might topple it, and there will be no barrier left, and all past present future just cover it like the rising tide…. However in case of “A” in the affection, it will stand. it will stay visble no matter what…
