Summary

The web content reflects on the concept of unconditional love through personal essays, poetry, and photography, emphasizing the importance of sharing not just joyous moments but also the mundane and painful aspects of life.

Abstract

The website presents a collection of works that delve into the nature of unconditional love. It features a quote that underscores the desire to share the everyday experiences and hardships as a manifestation of true, unconditional love. The content includes a lengthy essay from December 2013, titled "Self Portrait Essay," which is accompanied by a writer's note from December 7, 2020. Additionally, the site showcases a series of tanka poems dedicated to the theme of unconditional love, including a feature piece on the unbreakable bond between souls, as well as a reflection on the potential for eternal love between humans. The author also explores the spiritual connection between humans and pets, suggesting that the eyes of pets reveal their souls, which is represented in the feature image of the content.

Opinions

  • The author values the sharing of life's ordinary and challenging moments as much as the highlights, considering this a truer form of unconditional love.
  • The essays and poetry suggest that love is a dynamic state of being, subject to change and not guaranteed to last forever between humans.
  • There is a belief that a divine "contract" ensures the eternal nature of love between souls, which is unbreakable and everlasting.
  • The author expresses a deep connection with pets, implying that animals possess souls that can form unconditional bonds with humans.

"More important than sharing our highpoints, I want to share the mundane, and each other’s pain. That to me is true unconditional love."

These two contrasts are my favorites:

Unconditional love twixt humans forever? Perhaps, perhaps not. Love is a state of being. Beings constantly in flux.

Now, love between souls a contract made in heaven unconditional Vows made there are not broken Heavenmates are eternal
