Love

The word "love" is at once the simplest and most complicated term (associated with the human experience) to properly grasp and express. Everyone brings to the term their own personal meanings and perceptions borne out of their life experiences.

Love can be an noun...love can be a verb. Love can be a feeling...love can be an act.

In my search for clarity amidst the confusion resulting from the variety of perspectives and meanings, my experience has taught me to simply look at the term from the perspective of where it is originating from.

Love that originates from the soul is simple, unconditional, liberating and free. This is love in the form of an act.

Love that originates from the mind is complicated, tit-for-tatish, possessive, controlling and often fraught with landmines and anguish. This is love in the form of a feeling.
