I like what Marsilo Ficino said about it: "It is the desire for union with a beautiful object in order to make eternity available to mortal life."

Someone else said love is about extending ones self out of oneself to interact with another, thus bringing about spiritual growth to one or both.

In whatever form, love is bringing the spiritual to the level of the mundane, in order for the soul to aspire from the mundane to the spiritual.

That's my bit o' philosophy for today. :)
