the uncontainable wisdom loves

finding love does not mean keeping it
knowing love does not mean having it or holding it
the knowledge of love means experiencing it even if only for a brief time

so for a person who tries to contain their emotions
experiencing love is like light for the sighted
when they thought in the darkness
they were blind

love is not something which can be captured
it fleets

all fears lack love
wisdom loves

Bono's Acceptance Speech NAACP End Extreme Poverty

Absolutely riveting and sensitive speech - NAACP Chairman's Award to Bono. Quincy Jones kisses and hugs Bono before he goes on stage. Bono's acceptance speech - "preach!" - brought the crowd to it's feet with a roar!

"This is true religion. True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. 'Love thy neighbor' is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ... This is not a burden, it's an adventure. Don't let anyone tell you it can not be done; we can be the generation that ends extreme poverty."
- Bono, March 2007
