​Love is not a Place

Love is not a destination but an experience. Love is a feeling but also a commitment. Love is not passive but active. In this present moment, and in every moment to come, choose love, for love is a choice and not something that simply happens to us. We feel love from others, but until we also give love, it is not complete.

If we want to love as The Divine loves, then love should be given to all in equal proportion. And, don’t forget, love is given to ourselves as well as to others. A good healthy dose of love for self, partner, neighbor, and enemies is the only remedy our world needs. Give love without strings attached. Give it freely to all who ask and to those who don’t. Give it to those who seem to refuse it. Love, like water, can transform the landscape from a barren desert to a plush oasis.
​
On this day, and on every day, remember that love is not a destination, but a state of mind, a state of being, a state of heart, and a state of our souls. The more we give, the greater is our capacity to receive and to give more. Be in a state of love — always and for all time.
