love is the quality of attention

Choosing Love with Our Attention

Love. Falling in love. Choosing love. However you go about it the act of love is so much about paying attention. Generous with our attention. Our gaze elevating what we see into a thing of beauty. Finding that beauty and not only resting our eyes on it but exploring it deeper and deeper and deeper.

When life is fleeting (and isn’t it always fleeting?) we can make time slow to the drip of sap from a giant pine tree by simply noticing. With our attention we can’t help but love. And that feeling of love gives us exactly what we need to feel fulfilled.

Maybe that is all falling in love has every been, paying attention with our hearts and all of our senses.

Love is the quality of attention we pay to things.
~J.D. McClatchy

What are you grateful to find love for when you pay it enough attention?
