Love

love is not the opposite of hate
love is not the opposite of anger
love is not the opposite of sadness
love is beyond these things
love is to look in that face of your boyfriend with compassion when they tell you they hate you
love to see the beautiful face of a woman
the innocent face of a child
the spirit of the mountain
and that mountain, that woman that child brings a tear to your eye

love is awareness ... expanded self
love is beyond self

love is in the gap
love is that which is in between the shadow and the wall...

pure awareness

there is no distinction or division between the observer and the observed

awareness is the painter whose brush, perception, creation and model are one

awareness is love

love is awareness

love is not attachment
love is not obsession
love has no criteria

love is compassion
love is awareness
and love is allowing everyone to be who they are

love is

love is sharing.
love is giving.
love is mutual sharing and giving, but not 'tit for tat'
love is feeling good about giving.
love is not being taken advantage of.
love does not include abuse; verbal, emotional, or physical.
God is love, always embracing, never hating.
