On my way into work today i was listening to Crowded House - I am in love. and it starts with the following words - Called out to prove my love... And as these things make me think maybe a bit to much... How does one prove your love? I am also reminded of a scene in Contact with Jodi Foster where one of the her asks if she loved her father and she said yes, then he asked her to prove it and she was strumpet... So how do you prove your love when called on??? with out the Hollywood melodramatics???
I also recently saw the Last Kiss where one of the actors is required to do what it takes...
So how do you prove your love when the other person acts defencive - when you only do what is required of you when you are called on to prove you love... How how does this relate to the idea of the love letter? What is the love letter other than a confirmation / proof of your/my love... and i do believe that the love letter is not only confined to putting pen to paper it could be actions it could be objects, done/made to confirm or in this case prove your/my love...
I guess this makes the definition of the love letter very broad but I need to keep it broad for my purposes... for the things i make...
So here is a question for those actually reading my rantings... How do you prove your love???

Hey Stephan. i have been reading your thoughts with much facination. all stuff thats been going on in my head too. Funny how that happens, inadvertently i stumble on your blog with similar questions.
But i wanted to say, it seems that every (love) letter ever written was written for the writer in the end. To your lover self. Then only can you love another and without needing to prove it, it is vulnerably/carefully offered.
