Love

My reflection about love

Love

Love is the biggest healer

How do we understand love

You can't touch it

You can't see it 

You can't measure it

It is there 

When you feel it

Love is not those butterflies you see in movies

When some teenager falls blindly in love

With her neighbour 

Whom she met, two days ago

Love is in the little things

When you drink a cup of coffee  while you look at the window

The birds signing in the morning

The trees and grass warmed by the sun

The blue sky and the weirdly shaped clouds

The purr your cat does when you pet him

A kiss from a loved one

A hug

Staring into someone's soul

The meal you cooked with a loved one

The cuddles

The moon and the stars

The beautiful sunset

The fall leaves

Sometimes, the flow of love is blocked by distractions

Material things we will discard in a couple of years

Mindlessly scrolling through your phone without any purpose

The box in your living room 

The vlog that you live your life through

Time slips through our fingers 

Due to distractions

Cemeteries 

Unused talents because of fear

Distractions

Materialism 

Accomplishments that weren't aligned with who we were

Lost people

Lost souls

Trying to do something 

About the unpleasant thoughts in your mind

Is like trying to catch the wind

Instead of sitting still 

Letting them pass

Feel the discomfort

Feel the pain 

Avoiding them

They will come back to haunt you

If you sit with them 

Little by little 

Love will flow back 

Like a warm cozy feeling in your heart

And you know all is clear

All is well

That is love

[John the Baptist]

This one covers a lot of ground with a lot of images, but the last stanza is the most meaningful to me. Non-resistance is the way to peace, and in the end, peace and love are one.
