I celebrated an anniversary with a partner yesterday; 3 years, married. Nice. It felt good: warm, affectionate, passionate, romantic, connected, present, joyful, delightful, simple, and wonderful. Just that, nothing more. lol

Simple, local, sustainable…

Love, and loving, are possibly life’s most incredibly wonderful wonders… and so available when we’re open to the possibilities.  Like the simplest of delicate garden flowers, sometimes the best moments are hidden in the weeds, but loving care, and awareness, reveal so much! Applying mindfulness practices to love is not the easiest or most intuitive thing for me. I do find that applying mindfulness to love and loving is rewarding beyond predictable value. Worth the effort, for sure.

It wasn’t a fancy occasion; we kept things simple and I am content and satisfied. I feel loved. Dinner out on a lovely spring evening, an exchange of gifts, romance, conversation… lovely.  It was enough to be connected, and present with each other, and talking about life and love and the ‘us’ that is us, and what that means now. It was quite simply a lovely evening.

More isn't necessary.
