The first glorious, dynamic, unbelievably powerful spark of creation, “Let there be!” launched the echo that reverberates down the eons “Let there be love!” And love has permeated the cosmos ever since. Love is the energizer in the millions of “Let there be’s” in Love’s unceasing, evolving transformation.
