The Photo Over the Stove

There's a picture frame hanging over my stove containing a photo I took years ago in Montréal. Most apparently, it reads "L'AMOUR." It's easy to take for granted that word in the photo. After all, we're all into love, aren't we? However, upon closer inspection one would see that "L'AMOUR" has been written in marker over another set of letters which have been engraved in the stone. This other word is "LA LOI," which in French means "the law."

The person who defaced (I use the term loosely here) this piece of public property seemed to have seen 'love' in everything, even in this hackneyed term etched into a slab of marble. Somehow, I think therein lies a message for us: that love is in all things, that there must be love in all things. And that's the law.

This blog is a record of my research into the presence of love in all things, especially in people, art, and, although I reside in the American urban jungle, Nature.

Thanks for visiting.
