If love were blind,
why ponder the mind?
That's so unkind.
If love were blind,
why seek the heart?
Where to start?
why must lovers begin...
where from within?

Some say faith is a blindness that allows you to see. This is true, you know.
Hope is born of those little glimpses faith accords the eye of the heart...
And love, love is the sight that allows us to trust in faith.
We used to have those little autograph books in the sixth grade. In it there is always a blank that asks you for a favorite motto. I know a lot of us peek at answers others have given, I did too. One of the most famous answers was, "love is blind".
Hmmm... In retrospect. I must've thought this response mysterious enough to be universally considered a cool and appropriate sixth-grader response. Yup, I used to put it down a lot.
Intermission...
Love is not really blind though. It can be stupid to the eyes of the world. But what is wise to the unwise?
What love really does at times really, only love may really understand. And unless the love itself admits the heart into its inner council of love, one shall never see what is beautiful from the eye of its beholder.
You see, it is this world outside of ourselves that is blind after all. Not love.
Come to think of it, I should write, "love is kind", as one of my favorite mottos next time around...
It's more true for me nowadays.
