The Profoundest Wisdom
“At the summit of the mountain of wisdom is a little hobbit hut.
‘I love you’ is something even the severely retarded can say with their eyes. Yet it is impossible for the world’s greatest sage to say anything more profound.
It is the simplest sentence of all because it is the closest to God’s speech. What God keeps saying to us in every baby, every wave, every raindrop, snowfall, star, and rose, over and over again, with infinite patience, until we finally get it, is: ‘I love you. I love you. I love you.’
‘I love you’ were my father’s last words to me. I will make them my last words to you.”
