Quote: “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” — Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnets from the Portuguese

The reflection speaks of love being not only evident in grand gestures but in the everyday moments.

This music has theta wave binaural beats (use headphones/earbuds) embedded within it to help you zone out and see the bigger picture. Theta works when we stop trying to guide our mind and let it just go where it will.

Continue listening after the reflection ends and take a few quiet minutes to sit with the music and reflect on love and what it means to you.

Many thanks to Indiemusicbox for this beautiful music.

Let me count the ways. The actual quote is. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. By Elizabeth Barrett Browning in sonnets from the Portuguese. Interpretation is. Sometimes Lavie's filter is one great wave. But when we slow down. We begin to see the many ways love shows itself. It may be in patience. In listening. In remembering small things. In trying again after a hard moment. In caring enough to tell the truth. In making room for another person's growth. Conscious thought. Is not only that grand feeling. It is also the daily evidence that you seek. Today. Count the ways love has shown itself. Not to cling to proof. But to recognise what is real. Let your heart notice the small acts. Acquire efforts. The ordinary forms of care. Love becomes clearer when we stop looking only for drama and begin noticing devotion.
