LOVESTART: Reflecting on Incipient Intimacy Love is a beginning – not an end. It's a leap of faith that you're willing to trust more than you comprehend. It's an affirmation you'll be open rather than conceal or defend. It's a testament that you're care enough to give without dividend. Love happens when you say, "Now is perfect in all essential ways." When openness becomes a paradigm discoveries come time after time. Aiko: Isn't this author too old to be writing about love? Bai-Luo: I don't know.
