So the logic of love is tht we are not here to get something, but to give something. In giving, we discover and unfold a remarkable wealth from within ourselves, like an oasis emerging in a desert.
An oasis provides something simple and life-sustaining just by being there. It doesn't chase anybody; it's not trying to dump its water on anyone. It is just there, giving life and needing nothing in return. Yet around oases in the desert, great cities emerge.
The point is to be like that - to give in that spirit. Then, Life gives us everything.
