A thousand words for love......

This saying was on a piece of art at the Scotsdale Airport:

"The Ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand, and the Eskimos have a hundred words for snow.  I wish that I had a thousand words for love.  All I can think of is the way you move against me in your sleep, and I have no words for that."

I stood there for several moments, memorizing this. Then I wrote it down in a notebook. It could mean one thing to a mother holding a sleeping newborn, another to a lover, or longtime spouse.

A thousand words for love: Joy, sorrow, honey, dear, azizam, baby giggles, God, flowers, children, shared laughter, tears, a wry smile, an exultant grin, a grimace born of unconsolable grief, a clean pair of underwear in the drawer when you need it...... but these are expressions of love, what are the words??

What's the word you feel when you eat your mother's homecooking after a year of being away?

What's the word you feel when you are in church, or the mosque, or the synagogue and you are swept away with the majesty and smallness of being, all at once?

What's the word for the catch in your throat, when your baby sighs, or when your stinky, sour little boy gives you a sweaty kiss, or they go to school for the first time?

What's the word for the way your heart stops when adoring eyes shine into yours and your realize that you are really seeing your own adoration mirrored back to you, and then yours back to his, and so on into infinity?

What are the words for love??
