The predicament with loving is the power of the addiction of the
practice of loving somebody, of getting so caught in the relationship
that you can’t ever arrive at the essence of dwelling in love. Imagine
that you are cut off in your heart from love, so you feel hungry. What
that hunger is, is the hunger to come home, to be at peace, to be
feeling at one in the universe, where lover and Beloved merge. It’s the
place to feel fulfilled, fully in the moment. -
