Love is a two way street

Attention is love. What we’re doing in meditation, and I’m not using this in any sense pious language or sentimental language, but we are loving. It may not feel like it emotionally at the time, but we are loving, and the effects of this work of attention in the meditation periods will be translated into our lives in the form of love. You basically become more loving people, capable of receiving love. Love is a two way street – giving and receiving.
