Love that does not alter. The full quote is. . . Love is not love which alters. William Shakespeare. Sonnet 116. The interpretation here is. Conscious love is not a mood that vanishes every time life becomes hard. It may change form. It may need quiet. It may need repair. It may need truth. But real love has a deeper thread. Underneath the passing weather. This does not mean staying where you are harmed. It means recognising love that has substance. If love disappears every time there is tension. It may be attachment. Comfort. Or desire. But love with depth keeps returning to truth. Today, Notice what remains steady. Not perfect. Not always easy. But steady. That is where love has roots.
