The Grasshopper joined me for tea this morning and said, “Love comes through you, not from you.”

The meaning was immediately clear to me. Love is always available, although seemingly not always present.

When someone you love moves on or passes away, the love doesn’t go away because the source that love came from never breaks up with you or dies.

Love is still present even though the person isn’t. It’s no longer being expressed to you through them, but it’s still available in inexhaustible amounts.

Let’s move away from love for a moment and talk about money. Let’s pretend that you are in line for a big inheritance from your rich uncle. You find out at the reading of the will that he left everyone a sizable sum except you. He cited that he left your entire share to the cat hospital. You are shocked, angry and feel unloved. Now suppose that you hit the lottery that same day for even more money than your uncle was supposed to leave you.

The money came to you, but you may, after the initial euphoria, still be upset that you didn’t get it from your uncle.

We develop preferences where love has to come from and when it doesn’t come from that source, we feel unloved. Our sadness from our loss may pass with the passage of time, but the love will never pass away.

Love is always available; you just have to be open to it to allow it to come to and through you. If you have a preference where love has to come from, you may spend the rest of your life feeling unloved.

You may, as the old adage says, not be able to live on love alone, but living without it is a lonely existence.

Let me leave you with the opening lyrics from a song called, “Love is All Around.”

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

All the best,

John
