The feeling of love

Love is a wonderful feeling
A changing feeling
A growing feeling
An aspiring and inspiring feeling
It is the one thing that connects us all
Even when we believe we are not connected
We are always connected
It is a universal feeling
A freeing feeling
That which gets us up in the morning
Points us in the right direction
Asks no questions
Judges no one
Accepts all for what it is
Love is beautiful
When we allow it
Accept it
And embrace it
It is also elusive
When we are not who we meant to be
When we live behind false exteriors
Trying to protect ourselves from feeling love
From experiencing love
From allowing it to radiate throughout our beings
Because we are afraid of being hurt
Or do not trust others enough to love
And when we remain behind our walls
We throw stones at others
Hoping to hurt them in the way we hurt
Wondering why the walls keep growing taller around us
Wondering why the stones keep getting heavier
And the targets more distant
Until we realize
The walls have not increased
The rocks have not grown larger
The targets have not moved
Only we have changed
Grown smaller 
In our quest to protect ourselves from love
Without realizing
It is love
That grows us
Shapes us
Broadens us
Opens us 
To the gifts and treasures of the Universe
Love that liberates us
From the walls and boundaries 
We place in our minds
The hatred
Indifference 
And petulance
Love is the most beautiful thing
Because it allows us to see
Beauty in everything and everyone
It allows us to understand
There is a rainbow in every cloud
Calm after every storm
Love allows us to look beyond the surface
And see the love that lives within us all
It asks us to trust
To let go
To surrender
To the current of the Universe
So we can see 
Every person
Place 
And thing
On this planet
Is interconnected with love
Because love is everything
Love is everyone
Love is every place
Because love is us
As we are love
But only when we open ourselves
To receive the bounties of love
Can we be love
Can we give love
Can we receive love
And why would we not
When
Love is a wonderful feeling
A freeing feeling
A creative feeling
An abundant feeling
It neither starves
Nor rejects
Because
Love conquers all
Because it is all
Love
Love
Love
I love love
