A marriage contract is only a social agreement until we make it sacred by the consciousness we put into it. It just is, that's all. I don't know whether this particular nun knew that for herself, or whether she was just flustered and said the first thing that came to mind, but the truth of her words has stayed with me for all these years. Yes, love just is. Like the sun just is, the air just is, energy just is and the stars just is.
Love is . . .
Etc, etc, etc. I'll be no different. Love is . . . The stars make no conditions. They just is.
