Thank you Burt for your great words of wis­dom. I find Love in the of flute a music both haunt­ing and pas­sion­ate.
The many moments of Joy a smile has given to and from me with God’s Peo­ple includ­ing our furry creatures…has a power beyond words.
Here is a music piece I have found sings to my soul, may it bring peace and heal­ing to your soul too.

Great heal­ing love to all, Louise

Colin says

love: did you notice how it’s spelled? with a line, a cir­cle, a v, and a e, angle and spi­ral.. the seed of math and cos­mos in one.

I am won­der­ing love is a beau­ti­ful paint­ing.. what is the sub­ject? Can love break down the var­i­ous pains? I believe so, the Bud­dha and med­i­ta­tion can show this.

Per­haps more is needed, how does a doc­tor love a patient.. to always give ope and good news when fact.
to reach out with rea­son.. give when pos­si­ble.. for God is infi­nite and unseen.. and knows all things.

I was sad at a time, then I dreamed about the past.. a time when I fell in love with God, and healed, found myself heal­ing more and more with each day. read­ing, going to uni­ver­sity, reach­ing out to people.

love is ever­last­ing, eter­nal, beyond sci­ence and knowl­edge.. how does a med­i­ta­tion occur and see the white light image of a star mathematica?

Where does quan­tum dust come from? Are the cos­mos within each string.. like a uni­verse from a spring with life..

many sto­ries to tell. Each one of us.. tele­pathic and psy­chic, we know in our hearts I believe.. I am not seper­ate, the i in u, and u in me..

Dear Burt,
The idea of Burt’s Cor­ner is a great idea. As you can see, I’m not too speedy about get­ting to some things. Every­one else responded three months ago.

1.love is for the one who loves. For the receiver, it might be a dif­fer­ent story.
2.love could be divi­sive, pos­ses­sive, chaotic..
3.love is a reac­tion and will sur­vive with­out degen­er­a­tion if it can be free from irri­ta­tion, anger and rage.
4.love like life is affected by the ever present (unrec­og­nized most of the time)irritation mechan­ics that devalue its pur­pose and cre­ate a dete­ri­o­ra­tion to that state. It is ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ one will develop an irri­ta­tion and or a feeling/thought becomes an irri­tant.
5.more ?…yes.

re: love
Hope Sally divorces Mar­vin sooner rather than after years of ver­bal abuse (soul-murder). There is noth­ing she can say, do or not-say, not-do to change the direc­tion he is going.

Bet­ter to jump ship when you see the tip of the iceberg.

Kenneth says

Dear Burt

I have come to appre­ci­ate you and the Wis­dom you share.
Thanks for help­ing me!!

Donna says

Hi Burt — this is the first time I’ve responded…
I hope you responded to the gal who wrote the below…
The fleet­ing thing she sees is NOT love…but the “get­ting” type of self­ish ego emotion…serve my tem­po­rary lust which fades after sati­a­tion or the “do as I wish and I’ll love you but don’t do as I wish and I won’t love you” type of love. This Eileen is hurt and needs to under­stand that her perpetrator(s)doesn’t know what love is and can­not help being at that level of understanding…to be pitied and for­given so as to unlock her own love which is now given over “nat­u­rally” to the ego response of anger and fear and all the rest of the neg­a­tives to be “enjoyed” from such lessons of the world.

Burt, Once again you explain things in their sim­plest and purest form. As I think back on my life, I see the wis­dom of your words. Thank you for shar­ing. Thanks to you, “every day and in every way, I am get­ting bet­ter and better”.

Debbie says

love you Van Gogh inter­pre­ta­tion. You really have a lot of tal­ent. The colours are gor­geous too. That’s how I see love, the colours shin through with vibrancy. Isnt it a shame when the colours start to fade.

My daugh­ters hav­ing prob­lems with her long time part­ner and I was try­ing to show empa­thy at the week­end. She sud­denly blew up “are you say­ing I don’t love him?”. I’d not even gone there! In my mind, if you pick at it con­stantly it’ll bleed. She talks of want­ing him out and anoth rela­tion­ship. Where’s her love? She keeps say­ing he’ll guilt trip her, but she’s doing it to her­self. I’ve given here your mind box — rela­tion­ships CD. She already has Daisy Pond and the diet­ing one’s. I feel with med­i­ta­tion and time she will clear her head and then truly find what love she has inside.

Med­i­tate and believe in love. What an amaz­ing thing. Than for all your com­ments Burt, love your blog.

Richa says

Dear Burt,
love though pos­i­tive, is a form of energy, never sta­tic there­fore has to have highs and lows.Climbing out of lows requires more energy but when held by bonds of respect for one another the ride up is eas­ier and lows are forgotten.The key ingre­di­ent for hold­ing on to love is respect.
Every artist decides the per­spec­tive of his paint­ing, the beholder will enjoy the paint­ing more, closer he gets to that per­spec­tive.

Tadh Penston says

That was a lovely story, I just hope that every­one who reads it under­stands. Thanks for putting that up, I’m in a bad place and it helps read­ing story’s with wis­dom that your look­ing for.

Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
Love never fails.

Maria Perez says

Dear Burt:

Con­grat­u­laions on your paint­ing tal­ents, you really know

how to live using your your won­der­ful talents.

I love the way you put what Love is in many ways.

It really is won­der­ful to have some­one like you as a

teacher and friend, always help­ing peo­ple to see what Is.

Blesings always.

MARIA.

Kerrie says

Hey there Burt. The inter­net is such an amaz­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion vehi­cle; giv­ing so many of us the abil­ity to have access to a per­son with such a unique and grounded point of view. As soon as I read it, I knew it was true; love is a pos­i­tive point of view. It makes you real­ize how many dif­fer­ent kinds of love there are in this world and how many peo­ple and things we really do love. Thank you for your per­spec­tive; keep it com­ing, the world is a bet­ter place with you in it.

DEAR BURT,
LOVE IS THE POWER TO CLEANSE KARMA.THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE RELIGION AND THAT IS LOVE.

Mario Gunter says

By the way, a view­point leads to a deci­sion, doesn’t it? And deci­sions lead to actions, don’t they? And actions cre­ate results, right? So the result is a fac­tual rep­re­sen­ta­tion of that view­point? BY THIS (YOUR RESULTS) YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED LOVE.…agree?

Mario Gunter says

Hi Burt : Yes that is good view point. If you take a tri­an­gle it has one plane (one view­point, actu­ally 2 if you look at the other side as well). When you take 3 tri­an­gles and join them together you get a pyra­mid struc­ture called a tetra­he­dron. So the 3 tri­an­gles cre­ate a 4th tri­an­gle — this usu­ally explains “syn­ergy”, where 1+1+1=4 (tri­an­gles). To get the com­plete view requires look­ing at 4 view­points, 4 dif­fer­ent view posi­tions. So I’ll say, LOVE IS A COMPLETE VIEWPOINT, A TOTAL VIEWPOINT. By the way, there once was a man who said and taught his friends :“Love one another, as I have loved (and taught) you”.…..and if he was in today’s world, this guy would have added…“and you can remem­ber me by buying/downloading my CD or visit my website/blog.…because this way you can reach out and I can have at least 1000 new friends through each of you.” Of course in those days the best way to record infor­ma­tion was “scrolls” which today is “books”. Another way of spread­ing info was by WORD OF MOUTH, which became, as Burt says, OPINIONS of other peo­ple. We are all affected by the opin­ions of other peo­ple, even on this blog site too there are lots of opin­ions. Whose opin­ion do you fol­low? So the world is divided by dif­fer­ing opin­ions. My opin­ion of opin­ion is opin­ion is a pos­si­bil­ity of a result based on accu­mu­lated infor­ma­tion. A pos­si­bil­ity is not a fact but a direc­tion. Quan­tum physics tells me that there are lim­it­less pos­si­bil­i­ties and choice cre­ates only ONE pos­si­bil­ity. So now I’ll add that LOVE IS A CHOICE of a view­point. Exam­ple you could be read­ing other people’s mes­sage at this blog but you chose to read this one, mine. So thanks to you. And thank you Burt.

Faye says

Dear­est Burt, thank you for inspir­ing us every­day.
As an Ani­mal Com­mu­ni­ca­tor (one who hears ani­mals voices, thoughts and feel­ings). I would like to share this mes­sage with you and your read­ers recorded from a dog when asked how her owner can improve her­self and this was the reply (the answer was given for the inner being, not con­cerns finances, edu­ca­tion etc)
“Don’t improve your­self. Which I know is strange advice to give you but if you try to improve who you are you won’t be your­self any longer and that would sad­den me. To lose you would be improper and fill me with hor­ror. Remain the same cap­ture your child­hood feel­ings and reawaken them but the feel­ings are you they are just buried deep but will resur­face and you will feel free­dom like you haven’t felt before. You will relive your youth and your vigour will return and you will fly like those fan­tasy dreams you have of fly­ing. See your dreams are talling you to fly to your­self and be cap­tured by your imag­i­na­tion but also to feel your­self. Very pow­er­ful are dreams that they give out.“

Hazel says

Hi Burt,

You are def­i­nitely true about love, just can’t imag­ine how would be the world looks like to live with­out love. But some peo­ple uses this word to take advan­tage of the vul­ner­a­bil­ity of other peo­ple. Say­ing the word itself is a won­der­ful thing but it depends on the mean­ing and the inten­tion of the per­son say­ing it. I would love to be your friend. Please add me to your friends list.

Leila says

Dear Burt, I would like to share these few lines from a poem by Wil­fred Owen.

For love is not the bind­ing of fair lips
With the soft silk of eyes that look and long.
By joy, whose rib­bon slips,
But wound with war’s hard wire who’s stakes are strong.

I don’t know if this com­ple­ments what you were say­ing in any way.

Carli Bauzá says

Hey, Burt! Great paint­ing, and amaz­ing atti­tude toward doing new things (ver­sus “trying”!).

I agree with your def­i­n­i­tion of love; it’s short and com­pre­hen­sive.
My own ver­sion of it would be “treat­ing every­thing and every­one at least as well as I would treat myself, under any circumstance”.

Love,
Carlito.

shany says

Burt thank you for the con­stant, love, this is the key,is it not? Regard­less of what state you are in, love will find a way, we’re all on our way, no doubt,to and in love. Hehehe love ita. To Karen Judd mother of Michael, Oh my that was beau­ti­full, so per­fectly put for me and had me expe­ri­enc­ing much joy from read­ing, thank you Karen and Michael Judd!

Eileen says

Hi Burt,

Charlotte Pennington says

Burt, you really said every­thing in that lit­tle cor­ner. So very true. I work with Atti­tu­di­nal Heal­ing, and I also expe­ri­enced the above example(like many peo­ple do) dur­ing my marriage.

Thanks for the sim­ple clear reminder.

Joy­fully yours, Charlotte

Bev Sidorchuk says

Dear Burt

Thank you for your con­stant, stead­fast, uplift­ing thoughts. You are truly an exam­ple of Love.

A grate­ful stu­dent of Life,
Bev

Betty Logan says

TO observe (view) life is to view the action with­out judge­ment. To be able to remove judge­ment from your defin­ing of love is truly being pres­net in the moment. All feel­ings, includ­ing love are fluid emo­tions, which wane and grow. To sus­tain love is to con­tinue to “fall in love again with the same per­son over and over”.

May we all strive to find love for all we meet to bring peace and hap­pi­ness to all.

Aris Notis says

Thank you Burt. Inter­est­ing subject!

?nd if you are some degrees down of the highest-positive view point and you are look­ing the other per­son with that way, how you ll lift up 10/10. That’s the ques­tion. And here is the answer: You can do some things that you did when you were at 10/10. Take out all the excuses and start from the beg­gin­ing. Thats my opinion.

Karen Judd says

My son Michael wrote this for his brother’s Wed­ding as a read­ing dur­ing the cer­e­mony. There is one small para­graph that he quoted and I will put that in dou­ble quotes.

“LOVE SEES ALL”

“Through­out his­tory and espe­cially on occa­sions such as today’s, we are told that Love, along with being patient, kind, for­giv­ing, tire­less and with­out envy or jeal­ousy, is also blind. How­ever well-meaning the orig­i­nal intent; how­ever fit­ting this notion was for Shakespeare’s The Mer­chant Of Venice, it may be more truth­ful and accu­rate that Love, at least true and earnest Love, sees all.”

““They are wrong who say that love is blind. On the con­trary, noth­ing, not even the small­est detail, escapes the eyes; one sees every­thing in the loved one, notices every­thing; but melts it all into one flame with the great and sim­ple: I love you.”“
–quoted from a source unknown

“Real Love, pure Love, hon­est Love, The Love we each bear wit­ness to this day, can­not be made to wear blind­ers, be shut­tered or masked, find itself to have become blind­folded or blind­sided. Great Love, sin­cere Love shared Love stays,unswayed; remains, unfal­ter­ing; con­tin­ues, unwa­ver­ing; stands, unflinch­ing; grows, undaunted; and lives, unend­ing . Love such as Jamie and John have dis­cov­ered and fos­tered has no course but to see, not glar­ingly or with pierc­ing stares, but with wide-eyed soft gazes cast upon what each the other has come to know: “When I look upon you, I feel com­ple­tion; I find shel­ter; I sense peace; I know hap­pi­ness.” Truly Love sees all.

Love Has Deep Vision.
Love Holds True Sight.
Love Reflects With Pre­ci­sion.
Love Peers Through Night.

Love Spies On Secrets.
Love Looks Past Fault.
Love Sees All Regrets.
Love Watches Waltz.

Love Gazes With Won­der.
Love Dis­cerns Truth.
Love Regards Blun­ders.
Love Reck­ons Youth.

Love Detects The Hid­den.
Love Pic­tures Joy.
Love Sees The Smit­ten.
Love Envi­sions Our Ploys.

So Love Can’t Be Sight­less;
Love’s Image Won’t Fall.
Love’s Light Is Bright­est
Because Love Sees All.”

“As you con­tinue your life’s con­nec­tion together and begin your jour­ney as hus­band and wife, may you always be watched over and made to be happy by the light of your love for each other;the love of your fam­ily; of your friends; and the quiet, endur­ing Love of the Lord.”

Writ­ten by Michael Judd.
Read by Kate Ginn.

I per­son­ally believe that if in our lives we always do with Love, first and foremost,our world would be a most won­der­ful place.If you can’t say or do it Lov­ingly, then don’t say or do it at all.

Sin­cerely,

Karen L. Judd

Kisa Chloe says

Kisa says ’ this is what i’ve learnt about LOVE.….listen up…LOVE is Plea­sure, Love is Pain, Love is GOOD CONDUCT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, Love is UNCONDITIONAL.…
LOVE is EGO LESS, When the Go walks in, Love haS JUST WALKED OUT.…Love iS EVERYTHING…

Andy (UK) says

Go Burt,
.… .… or way to go!
I can paint too! I got inter­rested via Bob Ross and learnt to paint in oils first! I so love using my hands to cre­ate some­thing.
Sadly my son tore me off a strip for invit­ing him to add you as a friend on face­book, part of my con­tri­bu­tion to your 1000 tar­get.
Ah well some­times our prog­eny have to go make their own mis­takes to learn from. I just love you — one of the few sane voices left in this world.
My Mum used to say: “All the world’s MAD save thee and me — And even you are a lit­tle queer.“
(Queer of course in the old-fashioned sense of a lit­tle odd.) I offer it as one of the saner ways to view this world!
Keep up the good work!

Kim says

Love the arti­cle, That would be like uncon­di­tional love. I like the fact of not get­ting hung up on exte­rior images and rais­ing the degree of under­stand­ing to a higher level. Accep­tance as an over­all pack­age deal. Keep being inspired and paint­ing like Picasso…

Liz says

Just dropped in to your lit­tle cor­ner of the world Burt. Gor­geous, uplift­ing paint­ing, and wise words on Love. It really makes the world go around! You are for­tu­nate to be so tal­ented in so many things. Love, Liz.

celestetara says

Burt,
some­times one does get dis­il­lu­sioned in love. in a rela­tion­ship one of the part­ners does tend to move on and ignores the other one which is usu­ally the woman, an d this hap­pens when they become richer and stronger. Grad­u­ally they shift atten­tion to younger women! So what do you say to that??? Doesnt that make one feel bit­ter and angry?

Sylvester says

Burt,

You have summed it up so beautifully!

Love is indeed a pos­i­tive view­point regard­less
the degree and type of love.

Any­thing pos­i­tive deserves to be cher­ished and shared.
Neg­a­tiv­ity will always be there as part of the other side of the coin. Let all of us focus on love as a pos­i­tive view­point so to make the world a bet­ter place.

Sylvester

Lauren says

Burt, I would like to crit­i­cize. I think you are def­i­nitely on the right track but I think you are talk­ing from the view­point of a viewer.

I cer­tainly have the ten­dency to be a viewer but I would so like to think that love is affirm­ing; look­ing around you and actively reach­ing out and affirm­ing what you per­ceive. If the God par­ti­cle is love then it is a wave of affir­ma­tion through­out the world.

I per­ceive that you actively reach out to the world even though you seem to per­ceive your­self as a viewer.

Saro says

Thank you for shar­ing this arti­cle with me.

charleyn moore says

From one artist to another, I love your ren­di­tion of Van Gogh’s paint­ing. I am 74, still work­ing full time in a frame shop and paint­ing in my spare time, my son also a painter far sur­passes me in tal­ent and tech­nique. His web­site has a link from mine. Keep up the good work, we know how much plea­sure there is in paint­ing. I have admired you from afar, and you are a inspi­ra­tion to me. Bless­ings, Charleyn
