What is Love to you?

They say each person has their own perspective on everything. We each see the world around us differently. It is that way for a reason I think. We are experiencing life through a human body and our spirits each see things from their own point of view.

Some of us see the world around us differently, most days I see a blue sky while others only see the smog. It isn't that I don't see the smog, it's just that I choose to focus on the blue sky beyond the smog. When the clouds come and it rains another may see the darkness, the chill, the wetness. I see the earth soaking it in like me in a hot shower. I see the growth it gives the plants and I understand the need of it although I don't believe the stories that there are shortages, I know we have droughts and the lakes and rivers get low, but universe always provides what we need.

I often wonder how people perceive love. When I look around at others it's sometimes hard to say although a pretty common tie is animals. People seem to love their pets as much as there family and friends, sometimes even more. They love their hobbies, their belongings, their memories, themselves. We should all love ourselves, don't get me wrong. That is the first person you should be loving.

I love. I love the blue skies, the clouds that drift by in puffy shapes, I love the clouds that are dark and foreboding with the promise of Thunder and Lightening. I love the sound of rain on the roof and feel of it's spray as it washes across the world. I love the feel of sunshine on my skin, the warmth holding me in it's hot embrace. I love the daylight from the beauty of each new day to the sunset as the day goes out in a blaze of glory. I love the darkening skies, the blues, purples, and finally black. I love the twinkle of each star and the bright light of the moon. I love.

I love rainbows and flowers, and bumblebees. Ladybugs and wishes and fairies and unicorns. I love playing in the dirt and the feel of the weeds roots as you pull it from the ground. I love the peace of birds chirping and distant sounds of children playing in their yards with friends.

I love planting a garden and watching it grow. I love picking the vegetables and feeding my family. I love watching the leaves in the trees dance in the breeze and the sunlight catch the color in the leaves. I love picking the fruit and eating it warm from the sun. I love hiking into the wilderness and just listening to the sounds that reside there.

I love puppies and kitties and newborn babies. I love the smell of morning coffee and the taste of the sweet vanilla from the creamer. I love the smell of bacon cooking for breakfast and love the pig for giving us that food. I love eating out and eating in and I love being with family and friends as well as being alone.

I love my smile, I love my laugh. I love my kind heart and the way it loves so hard even though it always get broken. I love that I keep going no matter how much I'm abandoned and I love that I got through everything alone and didn't abandon myself. I love that each day is another lesson to be learned or another lesson to be taught depending on what the universe is serving. Karma is real and I love that too.

I love the tingly feeling I get all over when something resonates true with my soul. I love the feeling of peace when I'm sitting on my patio. I love my home, my happy place. I love my grandkids and my kids, my own and my adopted. I love my Friend even though he doesn't return the feeling. I love. I can't help it. I love.

My heart has been mistreated, broken and abused. My mind has been altered, rewired, and it's healing. My soul has been here all along guiding me even though I always choose to follow wrong. I love. I love my stubborn spirit. I love my moral compass. I love. I love that I love. I love that it's even possible to do so.

I love someone who will never love me back. I know it. I don't want to accept it but I will because I love him unconditionally and that means I love him no matter his choices. I love him no matter his actions towards me and others. I love him. I love. I am hoping that this time around I love me more than him. I love him. I love me. I wish I could love us again.

Love is quiet. Love is real. Love is playful. Love is kind. Love is safe. Love is happiness. Love is loyal. Love is infinite. Love is abundant. Love is always near. Love is thoughtful of others. Love is honest. Love is protective. Love understands. Love glides gently on the moment. Love accepts that we are all one. Love unites. Love guides. Love reminds. I love. I am love.

When you think of how much there is to love you would know it far outweighs the bad. So love. Love the moment you are in, with the people you are with. Love the sunshine in your eyes in the summer and the ice cold snowflake on your cheek in the winter. Love the other spirits coming and going on their journey and rejoice that you got to be a part of it all.

What do you perceive love as? Love. Just love.
