What is Love

in different relationships

Love is a word but its actions are infinite.

Speaking the language of love in society today is no easy task

We live in a postmodern world in our bodies, minds, emotions, energies and relationships

Can we say love is safety, it is our home.

Love is the space to return home and find peace.

An action of love is returning us to the divine even if just for a small moment.

Love does not dance with time, it is always available if we choose to use it

Our world , our humanness has given us endless opportunities to practice love

Love transforms, it eventually gives us the eyes to see and then Be.
