#3 four days late

"I come to not entertain you with worldly festivities but to arouse your sleeping memory of immortality." -Paramahansa Yogananda

Where are you loving bigger than the circumstance?
I feel myself loving even at the simple most interactions with people.  When I share a laugh with someone, a connecting moment, or a smile; I feel the affection in my heart. Even in the midst of a disagreement, I remind my competitive body that the love is still there. When I ask strangers about there day, I love them enough to want to hear the genuine answer.  I use to think that the beginning of friendships was the most exciting and as the years go by, there is less to learn and less to be fascinated by.  However true that the beginning of the courtship of friendship is extremely magical, friendships survived by the years are a true source of beauty and love.  There is never enough you could know about a person. I feel myself always evolving, always changing, sometimes at a constant where I can't even catch up.  Love doesn't get old, predictable, or finish your sentences for you.  It's a constant experience of realization.  It has been a true test for me as of late.  To love even when the circumstance is ballooning up with the fumes of negative energy.  To love even when you've been working six days straight and you just want to sink beneath your sheets until the next millenium.  It's finding your love through your ego that helps you grow.
When I first read this question, I thought of one person.
I see them consistently but in controlled situations.
I feel the joy in my heart when I'm in this person's presence.
I don't know if the circumstance calls for the label of friendship, but
I love this person anyway and am happy to share small portions of this greater thing called life with them.

I am being love.
