Lovely! Still working my way through McGilchrist, but I very much like the knowledge->experience->love formulation. It's like the difference between loving a piece of music, learning to play the piece of music, and then loving the piece of music when you play it. Assuming I know what you're talking about. 😄
As a jazz pianist, I get it. There’s nothing like sharing your interpretation of a piece with others at jam session, starting off together with the “head” or original melody of a tune you all know, everyone taking a turn in a round of solos — improvisations based on that theme — then coming back to the head to close out. It’s not just a metaphor for love, it is love in action.
Great unpacking (to one prayer of Love and Knowledge I so often repeat to myself before starting new day). It is fascinating to look back on one's life to see how different it once was, but it was the choice to have those particular experiences that led to my current understanding of love and that gives me feeling that is so deep because it's about something greater then me. Thanks Luc!

That's a lovely analogy, especially since I'm a piano player myself (some jazz band experience too).
