What is Love?

People ask me all the time, "What is Love?"
I'll tell you what Love is.
It is sitting down for a meal with friends.
It is sharing a plum with your wife in the bath.
It is giving your little girl a sticky pink sweet that may hurt her teeth. It is drinking beer in the pub or coke and popcorn at the movies, pouring wine, chopping veggies, burning the toast. If you do those things with all your heart - then that is Love.

Of course sometimes it may be feeding a street child or sending food to Burundi - the kid of thing we normally associate with the word Love.
But don't forget the ordinary miracle of seeing water as water, a carrot as a carrot - the everyday experience of feeling alive, feeling part of all of this, of life-and-death, dancing in the interconnectedness of things.

This is the true nature of Love.
