Thank you Grace71. Ah yes, perhaps our children are the best teachers of love.

Is it possible to feel love for only one or two people, you ask. Well, in the sense of "feeling" I think so. As to the activity of loving however, I find that that it quite naturally expands its own circumference much like a fire does. Those qualities of love which you enumerate, the unconditional, non judgemental, die to protect, never walk away from....do you extend those to your self? For me, it has to start with me, or there's just nothing but cerebral conceptualizing happening.

Does that make sense to you? Let's hang with this some more, shall we? I'm really glad to have your participation here, thank you.
