My last post was years ago. Writing is such a temperamental thing for me, like the river on its journey to meet the sea, it flows when the water level is reached. Or sometimes whimsical and fleeting like the wind, bringing pieces of thought, ideas, passions to land on my consciousness and moments later, disappears.
This is one of the pieces inspired by the latter - on the true nature of love.

Love Unmasked
One can love without ever needing to be loved in return, because just to love, is joy enough.
If you love to be loved in return, while divinely human; is not truly the essence and gift of love. If someone loves you no longer, does that mean you then choose not to love them? So what was it before that you called 'love' whilst you experienced their love for you?
Is love, the most transformational emotion in the universe, really so shallow? Truly loving is about appreciation, being present and making that choice to be that from moment to moment, at all possible moments, and it does not demand, does not want, nor does it ever require you to give yourself up.
It's how you choose to show up in someone else's life. It's a gift to you as well as your beloved, and it should never be confined by the ideals of romance alone. It is too vast, too mysterious, too powerful. It lifts everyone when in its presence.
And the most magical thing about it is that you too, can always choose to be love.
For was love not what we were birth from?
And is love not what we are made of?
