There are different kinds of love. Deep love, the profoundest love, has no place. It is not what is held inside the brain. It does not involve a possession… not a possession of a person, possession of money, or of things. It is not something cherished by an illusory, thought-concocted center of consciousness, often called “I” or “me.” It is not something protected by threats or violence. It is not something held within any book. It is not carved out of stone, constructed by the mind, or worn as a symbol. It is not something apart from a deep oneness with all of life, with all organisms. It is not merely intellectual, conceptual, or fabricated. It is not an extension and fabrication from some socially learned belief or religious/political propaganda. It is not what rewards one for what was done. It exists beyond concocted boundaries and limited constructs.
My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Tom, your meditation on love resonates deeply. You’ve captured something profound—love as something boundless, unpossessive, and beyond the confines of thought or materiality.
Your words remind me of the kind of love that simply is—not something to grasp or define, but something to experience in unity with life itself. A love that moves beyond constructs and into pure being. It’s a refreshing perspective in a world that so often tries to frame love in terms of ownership or obligation.
Thank you for sharing this reflection—your writing opens a space for deep contemplation. Looking forward to more of your insights.
Yes, i’m very glad that you are appreciative of what was written, Michael. Too often, love is tied to a motive or motives for so many of us. Such love is inevitably tied to just thought/thinking… and it is a result of a reaction. However, there is a love that is an action beyond mere reaction. It is vast and is beyond what words and definitions can offer. 😊

Yes, love is not a captured thing, it just is and does all around us. Beautiful image as well, Tom!
