What is Love?

What is Love?

"Do you love him?”  My Spanish friend asked.  I was in Madrid, talking to my friend about a man I’d gone out with a couple times and was crushing on. “Love him?”  I answered.  “I barely know him.” “Madre mia,” my friend said.  “I’ve been in love with a woman for years and I’ve never even spoken to her.”  Life is different in Europe, as is love.  There, you take two hours to savor every meal.  Lounge in cafés until dawn contemplating the universe.  Open your heart to the beam of light coming from another person’s soul and know you love them instantly.  Maybe you know immediately, maybe you know in a year, but no clock ticks to let you know when it’s “appropriate” to feel it.  Love shows up when it feels like showing up. Europeans know there is no escape from the senses, you don’t choose when feelings come.  Life brings suffering you can’t protect yourself from, just as it brings ecstasy.  So just live it.
