Love is the Bridge

 Rumi says:

Love is the bridge between you and everything.   

What does this mean?  It could mean (a) that without love, there is no bridge... we have to shout at things across the chasm.  It could mean (b) that when we are connected to something/someone (curious, interested) that connection is the definition of love.

Martin Buber says:

All real living is meeting.

Martin Buber says: 

Marriage, for instance, will never be given new life except by that out of which true marriage always arises, the revealing by two people of the Thou to one another. Out of this a marriage is built up by the Thou that is neither of the I’s.  

Adam Grant says:

The hallmark of a caring relationship is valuing each other's success and well-being as much as your own. Interactions are guided by generosity, not reciprocity. You give without obligation and ask without hesitation.  You amplify each other’s sorrow and amplify each other’s joy.
