What is Love?

Love arrives as a force beyond our choosing — a delicious madness, a raging fire, an invading army that undoes our self-command.
It humbles, topples, strips us bare, until all our defenses fall.
In that surrender, the self is decentered: another becomes more vivid than we are to ourselves, and the line between giving and receiving disappears.
In love we see with enchanted eyes — the beloved shimmering like a jewel, ordinary places and dates transfigured into holy ground, life itself thick with a poetic intensity that logic cannot touch.

And yet this frenzy does not consume so much as it remakes.
Love plows open the hard ground of the heart, softening what was armored and expanding what was small.
It draws us outward into service, into the quiet gestures of devotion that ennoble and transform.
Over time the passion steadies, engraving itself into a thousand-year heart — not bargaining for return but offering itself freely, gift-love given as the most natural act in the world.
