Big L or little l?
Big L or little l? There is Love, and there is love. Love is unconditional… big L. Love is conditional…little l. Unconditional love is not for a person with a name. Unconditional love is the way I care for all things in existence, appreciate their intrinsic perfection and accept them exactly as they are. When we try to love a person unconditionally we become a martyr to love. I learned that from a man. Tried to love him unconditionally and found him driven mad. Drunk and throwing burning candle wax at me in the night. Destroying my home in a frenzy, giving me nowhere to go. Out alone wondering in the jungle at night in a foreign land. Thousands of miles from anything familiar. Of course I would forgive him, I love him. The scrape and bruise that meant I could not sit down. I would love him still. Empty without him. My heart aching, hollow and alone. Only he was my love....
