Love Is

Love is simply the recognition of Self in another.
-Eckhart Tolle (somewhat paraphrased)

When we love, I mean truly love, we are absent of fear and anxiety; absent of resentment and grudge; we are absent of hate. 

Have you ever had a moment looking at a baby where you felt something you couldn't understand?  Doesn't even have to be your baby...but by looking at a baby or by holding it, we for a second naturally transcend the stream of thinking that is filled with all the story, narration and negativity that ego keeps us in. It may only last a second or two but we feel Love because in that baby which is so open to Love...so free of ego ...we see who we truly are.  We can see beneath the veil that has clouded our being for so long.  It is Self we see; Self we feel.  It is Love we experience. So simple!
