What Is Love?

Seeing the radiant uniqueness of a being.

Relaxing all other concerns and fully joining the moment,
I see my daughter's hand, now grown, 
Competently typing, 
Courageously showing up for the work.
Her nails are short,
Having provided comfort during a time of anxiety.
Everything is exactly as it is.

Of course, everything is always
Exactly as it is.

It's just that we are wandering in dreams
Of what could be
Or what was
Or what isn't.
