Love,
is not nearly an emotion,
a fleeting feeling,
a whim.
It is a day-to-day exercise
that carries with it
consciousness,
awareness
and a great deal of efforts
to step over our pride,
our ego,
but also over
our sorrow,
pain
and disappointment.
It is a remarkable witness to
what deeply motivates us and moves of forward,
what stirs us, and
what is going on inside of us, where no one else goes.
It molds the tremendous force that binds us
despite our divergences,
despite the gruesome past we share and the hurt we endured.
It is a discipline that brings up to the surface
the best of what we are,
the good in who are.
Love
is
a
practice.
