The Senses

 Love is not about the senses, the feeling of love.  It is a decision.  It is a decision to abandon the self to God or Power, or Ultimate Reality, whatever is not you, but has your back.  You may feel love, but it is not necessary.  You can feel as dry as old bread.  Faith is when you abandon yourself to your God even when you feel nothing.  It is quite humbling to realize you don’t feel love.  Well, your God knows it but loves you anyway.  So do your practice every day.  Feelings are optional.
