What is Love?

A feeling?  An emotion?  A force of nature?

Maybe it's a song or a story or a sign.  Maybe it's action... or is it reaction?  After all, "to love is Nothing, to be loved is Something, but to love and to be loved is Everything."  Everything... is love everything?

Maybe it is more than just one thing: pure, unconditional, deep, devoted, unending, perfect, blind, lost. Maybe it's experienced in the moment, maybe it's outside of time altogether.

Why ask?

 "The wise are wise because they love.  The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love."  Is love therefore of the heart rather than of the mind?  As they say, "if you've never lost your sanity, then you've never been in love."

Fear is of the mind, but love is of the heart.  Does perfect love not drive out fear?

What is love?
