Love is like gravity.

Love is akin to a force of gravity. It is a kind of attraction, an energy that draws one entity toward another. It is what links all together. The planets that rotate around the sun retain their positions because of gravity. They respond to that presence despite their size, despite their distance, despite the fact that such forces, although invisible, are recognized clearly to exist through evidence, not through what is seen. A scientist can observe the force of gravity because of the behavior of entities in the interactions that exist, but gravity as a force is not something you see with your eyes. Nevertheless, you know it exists.

This gravitational force that we refer to as love is also a reality that is not seen with the eyes. It is, rather, observed through the heart. It is observed through reflection. It is recognized because of evidence of its existence. You cannot see love between two individuals, but you see evidence of it. You cannot see the love between two strangers, but you can recognize it by seeing the impact of that relationship upon the behavior of both. When you reach out to a stranger whom you do not know, you can reach out with a loving presence, loving not in the way of popular culture, but loving as a way of one spirit reaching out to another spirit. That connection exists only within the framework of spirit. You can observe that easily.

You can feel it when you are the recipient of love from someone you cannot know. That love can be experienced through each of your senses except through what you see. You can feel that relationship. You can feel the kindness. You can see evidence of a loving outreach even with your eyes, but you don’t see the love as an entity of its own.
