“Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth... This is the real message of love.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
That's just what love is, you see.
It's not something to be owned or possessed.
And, love isn't a small trinket to be tucked away into one of life's many pockets.
Rather, love is a much greater 'gift' for our souls to experience.
Through it, we learn that hearts can not be blasted open ~ instead, you must "coax and nurture it open, like the sun does to a rose.”
So, when it is that you feel a bit 'distracted' by loving,just remember,
"Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life..." — Lama Surya DasNamaste on this, a most beautiful day ~
