“Everything you can see will crumble, everything you can touch will fade, everything you can count will disappear–but love transcends the temporary world and writes itself into eternity.” – Nordine Zouareg

If you strip away the noise, the circumstances, the fleeting victories and losses, there is one truth that stands like a mountain unmoved by time: Love is the only permanent thing.

It is not something we create—it exists whether we acknowledge it or not. It’s not earned, bargained for, or negotiated. Love simply is. Always has been. Always will be.

At its deepest level, love is not an emotion that comes and goes with the weather of life. It’s a state of being—an unchanging current that runs through every human heart, every breath, every act of compassion since the dawn of humanity. We either connect to it, or we disconnect from it. But whether we are tuned in or not, it remains. Waiting. Patient. Steady.

The Cost of Disconnection

History is littered with the consequences of a world disconnected from love. Wars, oppression, greed, and cruelty—these are not the products of love, but the symptoms of its absence. Fear, ego, and insecurity rush in to fill the space where love has been abandoned. And from that place of lack, human beings make their worst decisions.

When we disconnect from love, we stop seeing each other as human. We see nations, labels, titles, positions—not mothers, fathers, daughters, sons. This disconnection has justified violence, exploitation, and neglect across centuries and cultures.

Yet, the moment we reconnect to love, something changes. Perspectives shift. Hands unclench. Dialogues open. The possibility of peace returns.

The Mother Test

Let me offer a picture. Imagine if a head of state—a leader of a powerful nation—was also a mother, fully connected to the love she feels for her child. Imagine that love alive and unfiltered in her decisions.

Would she so easily send thousands of sons and daughters—someone else’s children—into war? Would she sign her name to choices that would ripple pain into countless homes? Or would that maternal love force her to seek another way, to exhaust every alternative before letting even one child be lost?

Love changes the calculus. It changes priorities. It turns statistics back into faces and numbers back into names.

Love Is Not Fragile

We often treat love like a fragile flower—delicate, seasonal, and easily lost. But the truth is, love is not fragile. It’s indestructible. It survives heartbreak, betrayal, death, and distance. What fades is not love itself, but our connection to it.

That connection gets clouded by life’s demands—deadlines, bills, misunderstandings, ambitions, pride. We get tangled in the mundane and lose sight of the eternal.

But like the sun behind the clouds, love never disappears. You can close the curtains, you can walk into the basement, but the sun is still shining. Love is still there.

A Universal Language

Every culture, every era, has sung about love. And yet, even love songs aren’t really about songs. They’re about the longing for connection, the recognition of something bigger than ourselves, the joy and ache of being alive.

They are humanity’s way of reminding itself: love is the reason we build, the reason we risk, the reason we forgive.

Why We Lose Connection

If love is so permanent, why do we so often lose touch with it?

Because we confuse it with conditions.

We attach it to outcomes.

We make it a transaction instead of a truth.

Love gets buried under the rubble of fear, resentment, shame, and unhealed wounds. We start protecting ourselves from hurt, but in doing so, we wall ourselves off from the very thing that can heal us.

Reconnecting to Love

Reconnecting to love is not about finding it outside ourselves—it’s about removing the barriers within. It’s about making the conscious choice, moment by moment, to return to the state of being that sees the humanity in others, that chooses compassion over judgment, that listens before reacting.

And here’s the truth: the world doesn’t change because we win arguments, collect possessions, or outwit opponents. The world changes because we remember how to love—and we act from that place.

10 Powerful Tips to Reconnect to Love When You Feel Disconnected

1. Pause Before Reacting

When conflict or frustration rises, take a deep breath and ask, “What would love do here?” This single question shifts your brain from defense to connection.

2. See the Human, Not the Role

Whether it’s your partner, boss, or a stranger, strip away the titles. Remember that person is someone’s child, carrying invisible battles. Relating human-to-human softens even hard conversations.

3. Reconnect with Nature

Love is easier to feel in places where life is abundant. Spend time in nature to remind yourself of the interconnectedness of all living things.

4. Practice Gratitude Daily

List three things you appreciate about people in your life. Gratitude opens the heart, making it easier to give and receive love.

5. Forgive—Not to Excuse, but to Free Yourself

Holding onto resentment clogs the channel to love. Forgiveness is not about saying what happened was okay—it’s about reclaiming your peace.

6. Serve Without Expectation

Acts of kindness—especially toward those who can’t repay you—train your mind to act from abundance instead of scarcity.

7. Create Love Rituals

Whether it’s telling your partner “I love you” before bed or sending encouraging messages to friends, rituals keep love active in daily life.

8. Limit Fear-Based Inputs

News, gossip, and social media can pull you into a fear mindset. Curate your information diet to protect your connection to love.

9. Meditate on Love as Energy

Visualize love as a light within you that expands with each breath, touching every part of your body and radiating outward.

10. Speak Love into the Room

When you enter a space, silently set the intention: May everyone here feel loved, safe, and seen. That intention changes the energy you bring.

The Call to Action

This week, experiment with living as if love is not just a feeling you have—but the truth of who you are. Notice what shifts in your interactions. Notice how your energy changes when you choose connection over ego, compassion over judgment.

And if you find yourself doubting, remember: Love is not gone. It’s not fragile. It’s not hiding from you. It’s there—steady, infinite, patient—waiting for you to open the door.
