I like Hardt & Negri's critique and alternative definition of love:

Critique: The modern concept of love is almost exclusively limited to the bourgeois couple and the claustrophobic confines of the nuclear family. Love has become a strictly private affair. We need a more generous and more unrestrained conception of love…

Alternative definition: Love means that our expansive encounters and continuous collaborations bring us joy.
Hardt & Negri, Multitude, 351.

Speaking of the multitude, I’m working on my book right now within earshot of the OSU football game today. I can hear the roar of the crowd in the football stadium 2 miles away as if they were right next door. I’m trying to imagine that the crowds are cheering to egg me on to concentrate, think harder, and write faster!
