What is love?

How do I love?

Do I love expecting something in return?
Do I measure and bargain?

What is love?
True love is a universal energy which knows no boundaries.

So may I love a stone, a shell, a blade of grass,
a sunbeam and a snowflake
or the tiniest of flowers as much as the tallest of trees.

Love is for my fellow humans
And this is the most difficult one of all
As we come with our desires and expectations...

How is love expressed?
By giving someone our full attention
By recognizing their worthiness
By simple gestures
Giving a smile
or a helping hand when it is most needed.
By looking them in the eyes when they talk.
By being totally present when we are with someone.
By being here
Being
Here

The gift of love
Every day of the year.

    So true Sandra. Love is not to be kept for certain days of the year, it's something to celebrate all year round! Love can come in many forms and can go in many directions. Wishing you many things to love about your life this week(end).
