Towards an Ecology of Love

Why is life erotic? Why does it desire for individuals to be, individuals who are full of the yearning to relate and transform themselves through others? Why is the cosmos filled with this longing to be in contact?

We can only ask these questions if we accept that the inner experience we started with, the profound attraction to the world, the compelling desire to unfold through relations, is foundational to this living, breathing, ever-unfolding reality.

Every longing to connect mirrors the desire of reality to be productive, to be fecund, to allow life to be life. Only if we consider this deep yearning can we understand the distributed desires of the innumerable individuals that make up our earthly community. Everyone, every body, is a fragment of this whole, of this magnificent constellation of aliveness.
