People want love. This seems evident in many of the people I've spoken to across oceans and continents, Developed vs. Developing nations, formal education vs. life experience, multiple religious or spiritual backgrounds. Love transcend variables and differences. What is it about love?
Whether young, spoiled and disenfrachised or within a country rampant with malnourishment and poverty, people still talk about love. Love and the discussion of it seems to be thread that connects us all. Gandhi once wrote "love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable."
Strong but humble. Steadfast yet elastic. The more you venture into a study or evaluation of love, there seems to be so many facets as well as an inherent duality. I focus on this a lot in yoga too. Doing a certain asana (pose) and focusing on the breathe, the body seems to naturally deepen into a pose. One pose you may find yourself rooting to the earth on your standing leg and stretching your hands as if the heavens are pulling you up by your fingers.
Duality. So does this mean I need to celebrate indifference because without it there is no love.
I need to ponder this awhile.
