These days I use the word connection and intimacy more than love. Alienation and isolation leave us sad, depressed, angry, etc. We then behave in ways that make the dis-ease of disconnection worse. And we live in our minds perhaps more than our heart-stomach-gut feelings and emotions. So many dimensions to love, so many forms of connection. I feel a lot of cerebral connections and affirmation but very little physical, visceral, sexual connection. I have not been very successful at improving that form of connection in my life. Any thoughts? Haha.....
We try to understand our feelings with our minds. Perhaps we need to just feel - just be present in feeling and respond without so much mental intervention. It seems we favor thinking over feeling. But even these words are mental analysis. perhaps our communication of feelings needs more body language and natural sounds rather than mind mediated conventional speaking. What do you think? HaHa ...
