Love is not tangible, not traded, not consumed. Love is not an emotion. Emotions ring through our bodies with the resonance of past moments not fully received. Anger, sadness, and sorrow are some of the turbulent patterns we activate within ourselves. Love is none of these.
Love is alignment.
When I let go, when I clear the swirling eddies and cross currents, when my will is contained and still, my heart opens and I feel grateful, grateful to be here, grateful for this moment alone. Love is the path. Ah, but how to build the bridge. How to encourage connection and alignment, discourage disconnection and quell fears. Certainly being one's own best example is the centerpiece.
