Love needs to be refreshed moment after moment, and protracted thinking inhibits love’s renewal. All the heart qualities like caring and kindness are immediate expressions of the heart and are accessible here and now as long as the mind is not obstructing the heart with a narrative. From our personal point of view it appears as if the heart is here one moment and gone the next, having its own timing and duration. In fact, we are turning away from the heart by reliving and prolonging what just occurred. In order to come back to ever-present love we have to die to the thought of love. Love lives within the death of form; it lives within the stillness that surrounds the words and not within the words themselves.
