Seek Love Simply

We seldom give love credit for, or even acknowledge, its profound accessibility and pervasive nature. It surrounds us every moment and offers itself in new forms from new sources.

We make it difficult. Courtly and/or sexual expectations multiply the difficulty. Our western cultures love conflict and climax in all things: Sex (Grasshopper, if you have to ask, she didn't), music (have a listen to the 1812 Overture), literature (the denouement is a convention of western literature).

Bottom line, conflict and climax are choices that are not necessarily required of the love at hand. Your expectations have the power to limit your experience and shield you from the love that seeks you.

So chill, listen, and seek love simply. Let each unique love reveal itself to you. Each experience is what it is, simple or complex. If it's romantic, intimate and/or sexual, you'll know. Don't miss the rest of love, you're going to need it.
