It's taken me years to fully accept, transform and become the very essence of the word LOVE in this world. That BIG PICTURE, all consuming, 'it's just who I am' kind of love that stares down a day like Valentine's Day and challenges us to define what LOVE IS for ourselves.
Is it romantic, is it charity, is it familial, is it spiritual? I think it is all of these, all of the time.
Mostly spiritual. Because love is a verb, not a noun. It transcends, it transforms, it moves, it's infinite and it goes where ever you go....and it grows. It was in you when you were born and it will continue after you die. Try to contain it if you will, but I think you'll discover, it's meant to be given away.
