Love is.......... (topic #5)

Love Is . . . .

“ I love, I am in love, I’m falling in love”. These are common expressions describing the warmth that flows over us when we are touched by the presences of love. Our need for it is enormous and essential, both for physical and mental health, whether we are loving our surroundings, giving love to another, receiving, or loving self.  The experience invades our mind beyond any self control and those moments are a delight.

When love flows between two people, the energy that we call love, builds upon itself, taking us into unfamiliar territory. Sometimes that love for another is one sided and yet it is gratifying, but singular. Having love of self allows us to approach everyday challenges with grace, knowing that nothing external can match the feeling of love. 

We use the word love lightly, to describe our favourite likes, to say good bye to family members and even intimately when it is absent in the moment. However love is the energy that supports all life and without it no-thing exists.

So I wonder what you think Love is:

• Is it always present, as is air 
• Does it come from the universe or even deeper
• What in us, turns on the value that allows love to flow
• When feeling love toward another, are we loving the qualities in them or loving the reflection of our own beauty 
• Does love of self connect us with the love in all living things?
