Magical Mind Body: "The Love You Make..." The Beatles

The Magical Mind Body is for me to rant, rave and share my ruminations about the mind/body connections, spirituality and the Universe. Tonight I'm considering love. Love is magic. We usually think of magical love as more of the connection we make on a more hormonal basis then an actual "love" basis. But who am I to define love? It's easy as a woman to think that they love a man after they have sex with them a few times. I've noticed from the true confessions that I get from guys that it doesn't always quite work that way with them.
The point of this post, which I ignored with the paragraph above is "The love you make is equal to the love you take" written to beautifully by The Beatles. I don't know why it took me so long to understand this statement, but it's a great lyric that truly gives me great comfort and validation. I feel and love people pretty genuinely which can lead to heartbreak but it doesn't for me. Really, the love that I "make" or give to people is the love that I "take". I don't mean that in the "reap as you sow" sense. I mean it in that when you love people unconditionally, you are loving yourself unconditionally as well. In my world, that's magical.
