Love.
And the incredible challenges it throws your way.
No matter who it uses to get to you, it will always, eventually, bring your focus back to the one most important person in your life.
And you, you will still not get it.
You will still not get why your insides melt in quietude when you see a heron take flight against a thundercloud...
...when a child digs his soft fingers into your palms, trying to hold on...
...when you embrace a lover...
...when your mother plates food in front of you...
...when your dog comes leaping, bounding at you after days of your absence...
...when a tree showers leaves on you while you walk under it...
...when the first drop of rain lands on your palm...
It is not these people, these animals. It is not how they are related to you.
It is not even that sentimental song you have been listening to.
It is the most important person in your life.
You.
No, there is no unconditional love between two.
Prem gali ati sankari, ta me do na samai - Kabir
