It's Not What I Do ... But Who I AM.

my thoughts on "love"

... it's not something I do.  it is something that already exists within me... it is my choice to share it... it is more abundant when I share it, because I never run out... conversely, though, if I try to hang onto it or keep it only to myself... it instantly shrinks and becomes smaller... it becomes squished into my tiny hands and it is all I can see and therefore it is fear that keeps me grasping onto what has now become an illusion "in my hands"... it is not finite.  only by letting go of the illusion and opening my hands, heart, mind ... only then am I able to comprehend it's abundance.  without the ego-self, love is infinite... insert ego, and love shrinks... absolute love... even self-love.  the moment I put a label on it, "it's mine", I have created an illusion ... I can not name it... I can not hold it... I can not "have" it... Love just IS... and by acknowledging it... the effects of love start showering my existence... what I then have is a product OF LOVE... positive things happen because OF LOVE.  Companions stay because OF LOVE.  I do kind, compassionate things because OF LOVE... acknowledging that LOVE infuses all things... choosing to see LOVE.... is a gift we were born with.

Do I love you?  Technically, no... but do I see, acknowledge and celebrate the love that is intrinsically you... yes.... and by a small human phrase I acknowledge that...

by saying "I love you"
