LOVE: LOVE IS VERB

Love is a verb. If we believe that love is a noun, then we think that it can be traded, given, withheld, sough after, possessed, and lost. If on the other hand, we know love is a verb, giving and receiving it is ultimately the same....and love is both inexhaustible and infinite. To see love as a noun, an object that can felt, bought, attained, bartered, and lost. Rather than looking to give love without expectation in return, we are always looking to get love, as if it were precious and limited commodity. If you truly understand what I am saying...then you will realize that when you feel you need somebody special in order to express love, you are ultimately weakened----you see yourself as dependent on other people as the source of love. This is a setup for disappointment and suffering. And anytime they don't meet your needs in the time, place, or manner you desire, in your disappointment you may try to seduce, manipulate, control, attack that person. Understand that you the source of the love you feel and nobody else. And the anxiety caused by the loss of that love is also yours. In this awareness that you are love, you don't make anybody special, you make everybody special.

In your life, in the smallest interactions with everybody you meet, there is an opportunity to express love. This way of being in the world changes the flow of energy between you and the rest of the world. Every moment is an opportunity to give love, tapping into the flow of it. Don't look for it, you are it.
