True Balance ~ Fourth Chakra ~ The Look of Love

We have moved onto the the heart chakra in our True Balance study. I've only read the first little bit, but it got me thinking about love (which is always a good thing). Sonia Choquette describes love this way, "Love, as opposed to sensuality or sexuality, is a quiet and contemplative energy." I disagree. I think that's one colour of love, but there are so many others. Sometimes I am just bursting with love, running with love, exploding with love! In my heart, love isn't always gentle.

What love feels like to me:

• the playful energy of a burbling stream
• the all-encompassing warmth of a bonfire
• the satisfying sweetness of homemade caramel
• big, enthusiastic hugs
• the bursting beauty of fireworks
• explosions of giggles and laughter
• sparkling eyes just eating you up
• the strength of a grip that will not let you fall
• the safeness of someone sitting with you when your world is falling apart
• the comfort and familiarity of a cozy sweater
• the solid foundations of loyalty
• the fierceness of someone expecting the best for you and from you
• the tenderness of your hair being stroked when you're crying
• the way you feel at home in the kitchen at night with the light on above the stove

What does love feel like to you?
