What does Love mean?

Deep care for another's wellbeing, felt and acted upon. Love is a feeling that finds you and a choice you keep making.

Another way of seeing Love

We talk about falling in love, as if it simply happens to us. Falling is the easy part. Anyone who has loved for a long time knows the second half: love as a verb, chosen on tired mornings, in the middle of the argument, through the ordinary years. Feelings come and go like weather. The choosing is the climate.

Love in relationships

Notice how the people you love like to be loved — words, time, help, touch, small gifts — and speak that language, not only your own.

Love in everyday life

Love isn't only for people. Do one ordinary task today with love rather than obligation — the meal, the email, the walk — and feel the difference.

Carry this with you

Feelings are weather. Choosing is climate.
