The Currency of Love

When love is the current, giving and receiving become the same act. The heart knows no ledger — only flow.

But the longer I’ve watched life move through me, the less it feels like accounting and the more it feels like circulation. Nothing is truly lost or… Continue reading The Currency of Love
