Love Itself Was Gone

Here is my reflection to the poem by Leonard Cohen:
Love is like sunlight. It removes the self-created darkness and enlightens us. True love is unconditional. There is no 'if and then' in love. Freedom is the breath of love. As human beings we may have certain aspects of our lives that we may not be aware of. That is our hidden self. We may be ashamed of certain aspects of our life and consciously or unconsciously we may hide them from ourselves and from others. Love removes those veils so that we can truly see ourselves without any blinders. Love removes those blinders and that helps us to be true to ourselves. Like truth, love liberates us from the self-created bondage. Life is a journey with ups and downs. Love has helped me and guided me to go through ups and downs of my life. Being truthful to myself and having loving and caring hands in my life have helped me go through the long journey of my life. And I am very grateful to them.
Namaste!
