*This prose is dedicated to Leo Tolstroy and has been written in loving memory of him, who’s principle belief in life was Love.

I know Love better than I do anything other. And therefore, I’ve come to know darkness too. For in the darkest hours, it was Love who saved me.

I know the Love that lives in me. And I recognise it in others. I call it beauty. It’s gaze is amazingly breathtaking. I see it in all forms of life and it reminds me of what lives in me.

I know that Love is the only true freedom. For without Love, everything would not matter for  I would be a caged bird.

I know that being loved and loving others are the only things that matter. In the end, nothing else has the ability to  prevail, everything withers, wrinkles, crumbles. Except Love.

Love, I know you. Even when you choose to stay aloof, your eyes, they can’t hide the sliver that reflcts mine in yours. For I too Love,  I know the presence that lives in me. That which is you.

For I too Love, I am Eternity, just like you.

ABOUT THE COLUMNIST

Nell-Lynn Perera’s favorite past times are writing proses and painting. Being able to connect with people through them has encouraged her to continue doing both with a growing passion. Many times upon reading her poems or looking at her artwork, people assume that she’s living through what she wrote or painted – not necessarily so. She writes to inspire people mostly, even if it’s through a dark piece of writing or art. In life, she’s realized most things are relative. And everything shall pass. This is the beauty of life.
