Love is an Action Verb (an English Lesson)

Wonders of the world have their own adjectives.  It’s easy for them, they’re majestic, wonderful, enigmatic, and beautiful.  And, their identity is so intact, so obvious.  They’re pyramids, gardens, and such.

Nouns don’t need an introduction.  And, when you put the adjectives and the nouns together, you inevitably get hyperboles, which always are exaggerated.

But what about verbs?  What do we do with a verb? What can mountains, gardens, and pyramids do, really?

I think that what’s done is up to us.

So, Keep in mind someone you know who is waiting for something. 
Find out why someone winces peculiarly.
Understand someone.
Sit in a hospital lobby for a couple of hours…or an airport terminal gate.

You’ll see that there’s one verb that’s also a noun, that’s king of them all.

Love.

Love is an imposing wall of stones, a healing ointment, and jewel worn proudly or locked in a vault, the ubiquitous and wondrous object of most of our longing. It can't be fully described, or kept to our own selves....an action verb more than anything else.
