“How does one measure time? No, not in day, months, or years. It is measured by the most precious of all things: Love. Without which all beings and things whether brave and/or beautiful would perish.”
What this quote means
This Irish blessing proposes another measure of time: not conventional units, but the love that gives meaning to every moment. Without love, even the bravest and most beautiful perish, for it is love that nourishes and sustains them. It invites us to put our race against the clock into perspective and recognize that truly precious moments are those where love is present. It's a celebration of love as the essence of life.
