Your task is not
to seek for love,
but merely to seek
and find
all the barriers
within yourself
that you have built against it.

- Rumi

Especially living in LA, many of us can get caught up in the concept of romantic love (the way the movies let us see it).  But love is anything that contributes to a softening or yielding feeling:  when you smell something cooking that makes you want to eat it, when you thank the breeze for brushing your skin on a hot day, when you smile back at someone.  That is love.  Love is accepting the pleasure in life. Love is ordinary.
