The Simplicity of Love

Once again the reading at the friends meeting I attend was “simplicity” or the simplicity of love.  My comment this morning was that we humans are a bit silly in that we complicate it with all sorts of thinking.  For example, my birth family, as well as many others, equated love with material possessions, and, to some extent, they believed, it was possible to show love through costly gifts.  We can also complicate love with emotions such as grief or co-dependence.  Love is simple and real.  These things exist outside of love.
