INTRODUCTION

musings; through conversations lead by integral beings

The Premise — LOVE

LOVE

Love is the binding of all our greatest achievements;
the work and the essence of creation itself � this

chapter explores many forms of love, illustrated by the
vulnerability and tenderness of the speakers.

Banele Khoza relays their awareness over being attached
to people through romantic love, "it's interesting that the
first thing we think is romantic love, when there are so many
other relations to love � love between community, strangers
and spaces. It is interesting that love is from the heart and not

the brain.''
Rochelle Rharha Nembard envisions her life underpinned

"when our intention is pure, everything flows. It all just falls

into place."
Obakeng Motstepe reflects on "Appreciating and exploring

A life tempered by gratitude grows in its infinite expansion; the
more we give, and are grateful for, the more our intentions are made

and holding the view of being grateful imbibes a profound and ever-

evolving essence that exists all around us as we move through our
journeys. In this conversation, we are held by the words of
Athi Patra Ruga, Alice Toich and Shuab Van Der Schyff.
