ahhhh love, the most worthy topic of all! there are so many kinds of love...love of children, love of spouse or partner, love of friends, love of land, love of country, love of planet, love of nature, love of humankind, love of spirit/god/creator etc...
i do believe i have learned so much about love in my lifetime & also that i have so much more to learn... i have discovered that love is something inside of me that is not dependent on others for its existence or expression (but it is also true that certain individuals have that magic ability to bring out the love inside us) but the love is already there & it is boundless... i believe we all have the ability to generate as much love as we want & yes give it to complete strangers as well as those we are in close bounds with... this love is very real, as real as anything seen or unseen in this world...i have certain friends who are exceptionally good at their remarkable ability to see through the eyes of love & to exude love in the world & i know this ability to be the result of a conscious practice ...
