Is there a calculation in mathematics to determine degrees of love? I have already told it earlier that no measuring stick can measure the length, breadth and depth of love. A wonderful poem.

Very sincere and reflective poem. After our own mother this earth is the one who nurtures us in endless ways. Of all the Nature's representatives it is closest to us providing means for all our sensory delights. To love and care for her is our primary duty. Enjoyed reading your notes too.

Nurture, Provide, Delight - that's what Mother Earth gives us; Protect, Conserve, Love - that's what her human children give in return. We are allies in our commitment to the Planet! !

It is only required that you love the Earth, because she is the Mother of us all, she is hearth and home, source and destination, the place our children will inhabit... Do not think to possess the Earth, become one with the Earth. Make of her abundance a daily feast of never-ending proportions, make of her blessings a place of perfection. - - - - - - - - - Love is there not in possession but giving oneself to it, to be one with iit- - - -Earth being the source and destination of our being, we should try not to possess but love it completely. This poem is a pure song of love for Earth.

That's it exactly, Bharati: Purity + Love + Earth = Happiness for people and planet. I wanted this to be a hymn about issues everyone can support. I don't want to support a divisive position and attack others. Rather find common ground and what is more common that the earth we stand on. So this is a non-political politicaal poem! !

This is all very fantastic - the poem as well as the Poet's Notes. The imagery is quite fascinating and very thought provoking. Thanks. I quote- ' Is there a calculation / in mathematics to determine degrees / of love? Unlikely?
