What is love?

Love is misunderstood; love is not something you desire from someone.
Love is your awakened open heart center.
Once awakened, love can be shared and received. Not before.

In love songs, replace the word need for love, and truth is served.
Neediness masquerades as love, it is not love.
Love is free, love is not a relationship or a bondage.

Do not say, “I love you”; Say, I feel love in your presence.
This way you take responsibility for your love, you own your love.
Others will not become frightened and run from this.

In relationship, all difficulties point to individual neediness.
Relationships are about realizing lessons about awakening your love.
Love is the answer, once your heart opens.
