“Love is the child of fullness and emptiness”
Plato

Love
As a poet I’m adept at expressing feelings of love in many terms. Love, however, has the capability of being the most complex of emotions. There are as many feelings about love as there are souls that occupy the planet. One can exhaust or become exhausted by the number of emotions as well as expressions surrounding love. In Care of the Soul, Thomas Moore writes, “We always expect love to be healing and whole, and then are astonished to find that it can create hollow gaps and empty failures.”

There are many forms love takes. There is the love of self, love of our children, our spouses and partners, cherished friends, parents and relatives. There is the love of our animals, work, nature, life and God.

One day we love, experiencing the ecstasy and the dream, the next we are forsaken through desertion, absence, loneliness, betrayal, or death. We are also capable of losing faith or trust in love. We compromise our own love of self through unforgiving acts. Where is the place that occupies the space where that love has gone?

Self imposed and societal restrictions regarding love hold us back from loves’ full expression. Love becomes possessive, guarded, exclusive, jealous, angry, and often turns to its opposite… hatred. Egos get in the way. Agreements are broken and expectations aren’t met. Marriages fall apart statistically in increasing numbers and relationships are born and die. Friends become enemies and families stop speaking to one another.

Is there a solution to making love last? As spirit, we are capable of loving many people and things in our lives all at the same time. Humans are multidimensional beings capable of multidimensional or multiple love. Coming from a place of Universal love, how could we possibly deny we have this potential? The more open we become and the higher our spirit calibrates, the easier it becomes for one to open up to receiving love. We literally become Love. We attract it and it flows freely to us.

As human beings we have difficulty “knowing” love in the Universal sense. We are blinded by life’s illusions which have nothing to do with true love. When we come to know Love’s truth, however, we become prepared to live in the present moment with love. While cherishing one’s love moment to moment, we are incapable of wasting love, nor regretting we have loved. We also realize love, like life, is a changeling. It grows, expands, and flows, like our Eternal Self. Love and life are one and the same, ever-changing within our everlasting. Human barriers fall and the power that Infinite love generates is held for eternity by the Presence of Divine Love.
