The Nature of Love: the magic and elixir of life

JANU:             The nature of love is life itself. But more than that, it is many expressions. Even as life is a continuum of creation and return, of potential and realization, so is love.

Love binds life into this continuum we speak of. Love is the attraction of life to know itself, to serve itself, to realize its potential. It is like the magnetic field that draws everything to itself. It coalesces the elements of life, of creation, into form, opportunity, and relationship. For what is life to gain, without these relationships of interaction, of potential, of history, of memory? Love even brings us together, our brother, for these journeys. For without love, they would cease to be, for they would lose meaning and purpose and fulfillment.

Love attracts elements of life after their own nature or kind or patterns of existence, desires, and interests. Fundamentally, love exists everywhere but is activated, so to speak, by those consciousnesses that live in its embrace. Humanity is not the only player in this field. All of life is, in its own way, according to its patterns of existence, its beingness, its need to give and to receive.

Love realized brings joy, freedom, enrichment, and the encouragement to be all you can be. Love frees the heart from the restrictions of limitation and expands the heart and the mind into beauty, understanding, and serving life. Describing all that love is and can be is an endless journey, but one worth taking, our brother, for it is the magic of life, the elixir of birth, the adventure and the coming home, at the same time.
