I believe it was philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti who once observed, that love is a shared connection – a communion between two souls, growing only through a release of self. And knowing that freedom and love must go together; that anything less would prove a disservice.

And yet, how often do we find ourselves in a space of seeking? Of wishing more than what has already been shared?

Though our love may be intended as a gift, it is not always without condition. For even the purest of hearts, at times, begs its return.

Herein lies our paradigm – for how might love be nourished on less than fertile grounds?

“The most important aspect of love,” writes Ram Dass “is not in giving or the receiving, it’s in the being.”

Meaning, we must allow it the freedom to blossom and grow; to lean, in its own way, towards the sun. To be as it is, rather than what we might intend it to be. To set aside expectation in place of possibility.

Only then, may we discover the potential of having been transformed through it.

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
