Illumination

There is love right here, between us now.
It emanates all around us as effortlessly as moonlight filters in through the night.
You don’t always notice it, but if you look closely enough, you will see that the night is not always total darkness,
that the light from the moon and the stars are the reason for that.
Love works in a similar way.
It enters through your eyes when you admire how the sky hangs, far out over the ocean.
It slips in through your pores when you feel the rhythm of a good song beneath your skin.
It travels right in and down, into your heart.
Love illuminates you, very subtly, with a kind of light.
If only we could recognize this kind of love as easily as we do our hate.
If only we could let this fill us up, and linger, as easily as our frustrations do.
