The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti. What do you love with all of your heart?

Well, this one is easy.

I believe there is no greater love, no deeper commitment than that of a parent for a child.  I love my daughter with all my heart.  And my Mother, too, for that matter. 

It's hard to quantify such a thing as love but there are countless others I love too; friends and my family of origin and my extended family.  My now ex-husband, even my ex-boyfriends.  To me, the heart is boundless in it's ability to expand and love others.

Do I love my daughter and mother more than the others? 
Perhaps.
Maybe it's a case of how "unconditional" the feeling is.  I don't really have a way to test this fortunately because no one on my list of people I love has behaved in any way that would cause me to love them less.  I am blessed in that way.

And in so, so many other ways.
