The love that we celebrate in relationship has its source in love itself and not in any object or situation. True love stands on its own and is Self sufficient, celebrates itself as itself and as everything, including relationships. In True relationship, the subject and the object do not exist. Only love exists and is not divided. Love lives the relationship and is the relationship.
Thus love does not attach itself to its objects. It shines in relationship like the sun shines onto the surface of the lake as it caresses it.
