Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.

Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

This Month theme is too fast, too complex, too rich, confusing, wonderful and splendid to cover in 1 Month.

But still we’re going to do it. Why? Because it’s the most important aspect of being alive. I mean what is left for us without love?

Love comes in many shapes and forms. The romantic love. Well… if you were ever unable to eat and looked out of the window for an hour without noticing it and felt you were going to explode when thinking about that very special person, you know what I mean. There is the love you feel for your children, for your loved ones, your friends. Unexpected love when you look into someones eyes and you see an entire world reflected in there.

The conditional love. Unconditional love. Love you hoped for but never got. Love that suddenly electrifies your mind.

Love for being alive, for things that transcend the average. Art, books, movies, a tree. Well.. don’t get me started.

So Love is our theme. And since love in itself is just a word, the meaning comes from you.

That’s why we explore love. I honestly don’t know what will happen this Month. This Month is going to be an experiment.  We’re going to keep track of it in our Own Personal Book of Love.

Keep coming back, I will fill these pages with new insights. Let it be a Gesammt Kunstwerk, a Communal Work of Art Send me your ideas, insights, wonderful quotes and I will add them in this chapter.

I wish you a beautiful Month filled with Creative Magic and lots of love in all forms and shapes.
