The Speed of Love

By: Kenneth Stepp

Does love have a speed, follow a course, or have rules at all? Is it a force controlled by physics, or even on a quantum level some mysterious way? As one that truly believes love to be something the multiverse we are a part of is made of. I don’t believe love bows to any rules at all. If everything is a part of this one entity, as I suspect. It has no rules. Everything else does.

Before you think I’ve spun off on some metaphysical journey. I have some very good scientific studies to back it up. Neuroscientific and medical studies of those that died and came back with a story to tell. Four main studies, four different countries, languages, several religious backgrounds, different ages and races. Tens of thousands of scholarly cases. All describing the same thing. Love, acceptance, and being a part of the one love. Credible medical professionals. Some that go far beyond what science is able to rely on. If you can weigh it or measure it. It’s science.

“Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love” – Albert Einstein

Ok. Now back to my title. The speed of love. I dated my ex-wife for six and a half years before knowing. We made it twenty-six years. My rebound relationship, which, to this day, has been way over one year. I fell in love with her the day we met. Real, unconditional love. In my defense, we shared hundreds of emails, calls, and texts before we met. Like most things I write about. The answer to the question, “How long does it take love to show up?” Has no answer. Because time and space do not affect love. You can’t quantify that which has no rules to measure by. Too heady? Oops is all I can offer. Had to make my point.

Everyone believes themselves to be intuitive in areas of love. I’m convinced of that by the interviews and stories I have collected over time. I have heard about some that dated for 6 or even 10 years, married, and failed. Then someone falls in love in two weeks, wedded bliss forever. I do not believe there can be a set time. For me. I will know when I look into her eyes. For others, it’s something more time-consuming. Everyone is different, because we are all unique. Many stories, events, wins and losses made us who we are today. Of course we are different. Hearts run at different paces. Love has to be allowed in. Everyone has a way of achieving this. Most could never explain it. It just happens.

Are you in love? Are you loved back? If both answers are yes. Your only mistake is not stopping reading this and run to the arms of that person. Do you know how rare it is for two people to love at the same time? RUN!! If you have ever processed losing love. This doesn’t make sense. As someone who has. Running towards them is all I could think of. If you are in love. It’s the most important thing that will ever happen in your life. Why wait?

“All love stories are tales of beginnings. When we talk about falling in love, we go to the beginning, to pinpoint the moment of freefall” – Meghan O’Rourke

Freefall. I love the energy in that word. It says a lot for that moment you find yourself in love. It indicates you have lost all control and you love losing it. That wherever you land. They will be there. The trust that this contains is amazing. I guess I will end this subject for now. With a word of warning. But, I will call it advice. sounds nicer. If someone loves you. And you love them. They will be a regret or answer to prayer. What decides that is you.
