What is love?

Love is not a feeling... it's a choice...

Choose to love...

Choose to open your heart to another...

Choose to spend your time and attention... choose to give your gifts... choose to touch lovingly (physically, or even, with just your eyes)... choose to share words of affirmation... choose to serve.

It is the expression of love that is real.  It is that expression that changes the world.

When someone does that for you... AND you open your heart to them, you will feel "In love."

...opening your heart requires trust... opening your heart requires vulnerability, and the courage to let yourself be vulnerable.

Opening your heart to another, and allowing them to love you also comes with a certain degree of obligation to reciprocate... there is a karmic balance... this not a quid-pro-quo... they love you, so you must love them... it's deeper and far more complex than that...

The minimum that is required of you is to act freely, with honesty and clear intention -- you must understand what you want, and then you must communicate honestly.   With that, then, everything else will take care of itself.
