what it feels like

last night, after we said goodnight, sena turned to me, and said, "mom, what does love feel like?".
i thought it was a really good question, and had to think about it. i asked her what it felt like for her, and she said that it felt like something bobbing up and down in the area of her heart. she said that she knows i love her, because she can feel my love coming into her body.
and she also said that love makes her feel like her body is all open and is about to burst like a volcano.
i was surprised at how much she wanted to talk about this, and how descriptive she was. she would've kept going, had ed not come into the room to say that it's 10 o'clock and we should go to sleep...
