What is love?

What a ridiculous question!

What a ridiculous, unanswerable question!

Love is a many splendid thing

It is both ancient and timeless

It knows no age, no bias, no gender, no bounds

Love is limitless

The limit does not exist

Love is not something to be found, it just shows up

In its own time, in its own place, on its own terms

And it leaves in much the same way

You can not lock it up or force it to stay

You can not run away from it, you can not run to it

It is a race you can not win

Love is contrary and contradictory

Slow burning-explosive

Mutual-unrequited

Platonic-passionate

Terrifying- exhilarating

Joyous- heartbreaking

The dictionary defines love as “an intense feeling of affection”

Let’s just go with that….
