​About Issue 15

How do you define love? What does it look like to you? Is it merely physical, or emotional, or is it something broader, something indefinable? Is it a feeling, a fact, or a myth? What has it meant in your life? Can we live without love? What about loving others? How have you done it & what does it look like? Sacrifice? Chemistry? What? A love of nature? A love of an idea or ideal?
