What is “Love”? We are taught in western culture, in many cultures worldwide, that Love is something that we dont have, but must win, or seek, or hunt for. The inference or message in this belief is that ultimately we do not naturally or innately have love, that we are somehow poorer for it, or less than. In my opinion, in this way love becomes almost commodified, like money. This dysfunctional notion of love risks becoming unapproachable, the lack of which itself brings unnecessary fear, hopelessness and loneliness.
When the experience of love is not one of lack or disparity and is equally not defined in the very limited perspective we (our mass-media, fast-food culture) places upon it, the realization comes that Love is pervasive and infuses pretty much everything. It is the natural state of energy which infuses all creation and conscious, sentient awareness.
The car goes where the eyes go, to quote Garth Stein, in his novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain. Love is where you find it.
