If you have the eyes to see and the ears to listen, universe talks to you. "You" is a limitation of language. When there's attention with all one's senses, with a quiet mind, a body that's in harmony, a heart that is light and free - there's no "you". There's just perception, and no division between the seer and the seen, as there is no seer - only seeing, an act of being as the seen is, in this case, the snow, the rock, and nature's play of art, and who knows, perhaps a subtle message about love that is the source of all that is, has been, will be.
Love lives in the present. Our limited language and faculties cannot describe that which is infinite. It's easier to describe what it is not: self-centeredness, jealousy, thinking, image making, possessiveness, etc. which are often called love.
Love is a powerful force, movement, that is in the present, outside the field of time. Thus Rumi says, come out of the field of time and join the field of love.
Love is encompassing everything, omnipresent, omnipotent in that it wipes out all impurities when it is allowed to act, allowed to enter like when the window is open so the breeze can come. One could pose that it is also omniscient in that love has its own knowing, wisdom, intelligence. Perhaps intelligence is a facet of love.
