Today we’re doing a special episode of Untangle to celebrate — and explore — the many ways we look at LOVE. I wanted to explore this topic because it’s a word that holds so much meaning for so many of us. And yet, it can be defined in many many different ways as you’ll hear today. For some it guides how we live our lives, how we make our choices. For some it’s something we fall in — as in falling IN love when we meet someone we want to be with. Some say, it’s an energy— you just feel it, it can’t be explained. Others describe it as a feeling of intimacy or desire or even as a deep sense of empathy. One guest said it’s not a feeling…it’s an ability. 

In this episode I ask a number of our former Untangle guests two questions. How do you define love AND How does love express itself in your life. I found these questions difficult to answer myself…so was curious what we’d find. I’m beginning to accept the fact that we all see things a little or perhaps a lot differently. And that is just fine. 

In our mini episode, you’ll hear perspectives from zen monks, leadership experts, authors, buddhist teachers, entrepreneurs, therapists and an expert on love. 

Some of the words that came up reflected the many forms of love…Romantic, friendship, family, self, nature, energy. 

Other Words emerged too…commitment, trust, passion, intimacy. Desire, acceptance, empathy. 

But we don’t need to solve this, of course. Just listen. Perhaps be inspired or consider your own definition… And enjoy because...

Love is just love. And, as one of our guests says, every day and every act is an opportunity for love. To practice, just simply, love.
