Completely In Love

I guess I can’t let Valentine’s Day pass by without writing about Love.  I awoke this morning with thoughts of previous ponders dancing through my head and I can’t seem to do anything else until I set them free.  I laugh with myself now because the more I look at the word “Love” the weirder it becomes to think four little letters could possible create one word to represent something so infinite.

For me True Love is the energy holding everything together in the universe.  We are embraced by Love.  We are enveloped by Love.  We embody Love.  And we are truly “in Love” with everyone and everything else, deeply connected together as a part of the One.

Now I must come clean.  I must admit most of the time I forget how much I’m in Love with everyone else.  I guess I can take comfort in knowing I do remember this now and again, and for longer periods each time.  And I also think forgetting is part of the process of experiencing the infinite faces of Love.

Because we are all in Love, I have a relationship with everyone and everything.  This includes my partner, my cats, my family, my neighbours, the billions of people around the world, and you.  The further away I am from another, the less I feel the energy in between and mistake this for “not knowing”.  The closer I am to another, the more fully and distinctly I “feel” the many facets of Love.  I may feel differently towards my cats, my friends or those who drive me nuts but each relationship gives me a way to experience the full spectrum of Love.

I hear of parents wondering if they will be able to love another child as much as their first (or possibly their dog).  Their fears melt away as soon as they hold the new little one in their arms.  There was more than enough Love to go around after all … because the Love was there all the time.  This new being just made experiencing more Love that much easier.

So now the question for me is how can I feel Love without needing someone right there to Love.  I found this a bit more difficult to grasp at first but the more I play with it the easier it becomes.  I just have to remember.
