Ah, the complexity of such a subject. I think love has a fluidity to it, morphing or shape-shifting between what the Greeks termed agape, eros, phileo, and storge. I've heard it said that "love is a choice," and that description has always given me pause. But I suppose if not perceived in our head or heart space, it is borne out by our actions that we are choosing to love by what we say and do and touch and remain in proximity to. Or is that loyalty, and is not that loyalty a form of love?
