Love cannot be contained, cannot be used, or leveraged against. To walk the path of Love is to seek alignment. So the demands come from the very nature of Love itself. Love demands nothing, yet if one holds back, defends, equivocates, Love does not follow. Love cannot co-exist with vacillation.
Love flows from the steadfast.
Love flows from a foundation of strength woven with gentleness. The path of Love is not a passive way. The path requires effort, thought and action. All of one's resources must be used in the listening. The path itself will guide the action, but the listening must be brilliant.
