The Essence of Love
The lark and the chickadee had a conversation. They were discussing
love. It was quite a discussion, quite an argument, almost. For they had very
different ideas.
Is love getting or giving? Well, said the lark, I think it is in the
giving. When I sing, the lovers are drawn together, and I feel love when I give
them this little treat. I believe it is in the giving and that is all that
really matters.
Ah, said the chickadee, that is because you are focusing only on
yourself. What of the lovers? They are not only giving, they are getting as
well. They are being together, touching, giving and getting, exchanging.
Obviously, love is best when it is an even trade, when each gives and gets an
equal amount. This is the essence of love.
But neither of them truly knew, because neither the lark nor the
chickadee goes to the heart of love, knows the heart of love. No. This belongs
to the dove.
For the dove knows that love lies neither in the giving nor in the
getting. The dove knows that love is simply what overflows out of the heart that
is full of peace.
The heart that is full of peace begins to glow and overflow. And the
heart full of peace cannot help but do this, for this is the essence of inner
peace, to overflow and become more than you were.
And of course, in this overflow, there is a giving, since others can
share in the peace. And of course in this peace there is a getting, because you
are getting the heart of the world, when you get internal peace.
But the true essence of love, you see, is love for yourself, love
focused within. Loving yourself so deeply, so quietly and peacefully, that the
love for yourself becomes love! for the world and everyone else in it.
And why should love of the self be good? Because we are talking of the inner
self, the deep self which is one with the flow. And this inner self which is one
with the flow is also one with everything else in the flow.
And what else is in the flow? Everyone and everything. So you see, when you love
yourself, you automatically love everyone else, everyone else in the world.
For you are all One.
