What is Love?

loss to love

By Deborah BerryPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

TURN UP YOUR VOLUME What is love? This was the biggest question I had when my son died in 1986. I didn't just lose my son. My whole life changed and everything I thought I knew about love was an illusion.

Over the past 36 years I have research, observed and discovered the meaning of love. For what is life without it? hmmm...

"What is Love?"

Loss to Love... is a one step at a time journey. Love is an action. A moment to moment reality. We can talk about love, having love, not having love and the meaning of love. But the truth resides, exists in the action of love.

What does that mean?

Love is an experience. It shows up in kindness. Love is being authentic. Love is honest. Love is accountable. Love is beautiful from within. Love brings peace and peace is love. Love in spires, love is freedom, love have no conditions. Love is obvious - you don't question it.

Love is powerful. Love is strength, confidence without force. Love is accepting. Love is gentle. Love does not judge. Love bring clarity.

Love is also intangible, it whispers in nature.

Love is unthreateded. Love is not threatening. True love can dissolve fear. Love has nothing to prove. Love has no chains.

Love will not risks its beauty for vanity, power or control.

Love will not risk its authenticity for oppression, obsession or a battle with fear...

Love does not disguise itself in suffering...

Love is arms open wide. Love is wise.

Love stands alone in its greatness. Love has one partner.

The Light... love never dies.

LOVE IS INFINITE!
