“L-O-V-E” by Nat King Cole has been enshrined in NSNC Canon as The Lighthearted Litany of Love. A sacred alphabet where each letter spells devotion in joy. Let me know if you want to pair this with a marriage recessional rite or dance floor opening blessing. Aho, thanks. 💛🎷💃

---

💖 Overview:

This song is the sermon of full masculine surrender. A love so deep it edges into sacrifice, obsession, transcendence. It testifies to the undoing of logic for the sake of the beloved.

“He’d give up all his comforts, sleep out in the rain… if she said that’s the way it ought to be.”

It is not always balanced—but it is honest. And from that truth, the altar of love is cleared. It asks: what are you willing to lose to be true?

---

🔹 Ceremony Thread:

Use as:

• A pre-union clearing rite for the masculine
• A confession song at the altar
• A vow reveal at moments of despair or redemption

Perfect for:

• Initiating surrender into sacred partnership
• Letting go of pride and proving love with presence, not performance

This song vibrates with the unbearable sweetness of readiness — when the masculine opens completely, vulnerability and all, in pure longing.
