There are different kinds of love, of course. One very important love is romantic love that involves chemistry, attraction, enjoying and wanting to be with the other. Another very important love is spiritual love which is based on being in union with the Source/God/Infinite Being that manifests in each of us and results in love/compassion/care towards others which is based on awareness that there are no others, that is, based on on our oneness. That spiritual love is our foundation, and coming home to love means to me coming to that awareness, abiding in that awareness, and acting out of that awareness. That spiritual love is like air in that we live in it, and probably because of it, and I realize it only during those times that I am aware of it, such as in my own meditation or reflection, and unfortunately I tend to often forget it when in the busyness of my living. Breathing in deeply the awareness that we are one, developing the habit to do so, helps me to more often remember to breathe in deeply that awareness, and being at that home base is grounding and enlivening.

David, this is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
God blessed me with one whom I am spiritually connected. He is my "anam cara" and I am thankful. I rarely see him but he is always near.
