Love Again

Love is one of the most talked-about emotion in modern society and even historically has been celebrated in various ways. There is no form of art that can be identified as art and then is devoid of love, be it music, dance, poetry or stories. 

From the thousands year old sculptures in those caves to the names engraved on park benches, we have accepted love to be an integral part of being humane. In every shape size or form, in every nook and corner of the world, regardless of seasons and times, irrespective of location and beyond time…we have seen evidence of love shaping this world, changing the world. 

Every experience that life presents to us is really a result of the love that somebody held dearly in their hearts at some point in time or we did.

Then why don’t we also accept love to be an evolving and engaging process rather than fixed emotion? Love by its sheer nature opens up our hearts and welcomes everything. Yes, it welcomes rains, clouds, birds, sunshine, moonlight and also those restless butterflies. It also welcomes tears, rolling thunders, and dust of destruction. When I say it welcomes, it should not be confused with love resulting into those…rather love being receptive to all.

It is a boundless opening of heart unlike any other. Perimeter of love is never defined by insecurity or fears and there is no way to apply a risk-based approach and then fall in love. Only negotiation or arrangements can be well defined and then be applied with risk averting rules, love knows no rules and follows no boundaries. 

Love knows itself in the raw and can be closely identified with the presence of connectedness. Does that mean love is reckless and obsessive? Well, it is easy to get lost into the darkness of obsession especially if one loses the objectivity around. Love involves only those who experience the love and let it shine through. 

If the love reflects on and then something else illuminates as well, love grows but that doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes our love ends up reflecting upon a surface that isn’t the right kind. It doesn’t mean your love is lost or gone.

It is just the time to gather up, and Love again because it was never about other anyway. You are the one who is capable of loving and be loved, so why wait…Let the light shine through and watch the flowers bloom when it is the right season.
