Love is always and only about letting go. There is nothing else but letting go. The experience of love is predicated on letting go. At first glance, I thought of a poster that I saw as a child, If you love something set it free¦� Yet this is too limited.

Love is always and only about letting go. Not just of what is loved, but everything. To be in an experience of love, the first (perhaps only) step is to ask oneself, What can I let go of?�

The answers abound: want, need, what I make it mean, attachment, expectation, should, ought to,¦ All of these are clearly grounded in and arise from fear.

Consider letting go as it may mean of oneself: as a kind of abandonment or uninhibited-ness; for example, sexual or emotional uninhibited-ness or abandonment. This could imply that letting go, thus love, includes full and free self-expression.

Add to that the letting go of our identity ' of all the notions of who we are and everything that we've always considered or thought we knew ourselves as - to let go what we add to I AM. Such as I am this or that ' it is whatever we put in the space of ˜this' or ˜that' that we would let go of.

And to apply this letting go outward: to surrender everything we've ever known or considered to be true or real. Thus to let go of the ˜this' or ˜that' in HE IS or SHE IS and IT IS, where IT can be what we think we own (i.e., MY life, MY husband/wife,...), circumstances, objects, and even where the IT is love itself.

This letting go would also both require and result in a new-ness to everything. Here, fear falls away as does judgment because judgment is always based in comparisons and competition.

Love is always and only about letting go. And when I let go of all there is to let go of ' everything I think is true about you, myself, them and it ' I can get to nothing. And it is only in t hat space of no-thing that love arises. The more I let go of, the bigger the space, the more love arising from it.

It is only where there is nothing else already that I can honestly and authentically choose love; not just ˜to love' but to ˜be love'.

Such claims as I make above do not mean that I know this to be true. I only know the most personal and powerful love that I have experienced: the love that created me with this freedom to choose.

Not only is there nowhere to get to*, there is only nothing there.

After all, if a miracle is something that appears out of nothing, what is more miraculous than love?
