Between the end and the beginning nothing has ended and nothing has begun. Between farewell and expectation nothing is defined. In that moment; freedom, love, forgiveness. Let love begin for ever, let forgiveness ever be new, let freedom be for all. Happy 2016!

Good morning, world. I see you still exist. Have I mentioned I love you? Even though you are crazy and imperfect I adore that you exist. Every corner of you, with its own unique imperfection – I love. Every corner of you, with its own unique beauty – I love. Good morning, world. Thank you for including me in your eternal evolution. Every day I am privileged to observe your whimsy. I think of the billion minds that were created to be a part of you. Each one of them believing they are separate from you. Each carving out their life space in whatever way they can. Each tasting sorrow at any moment. Good morning, world. How foolishly we behave. We throw diamonds in the trash because we don’t know anything of worth. We hold on to what will die and avoid what is eternal. We kill and we are killed. When did we forget that we were chosen? How can we learn of that worth, which is the very reason for our lives?  Stop for a while. Open you hands and let go of everything. Stop for a while. Listen for your stillness. It’s there. Allow the stillness that is always with you to appear in your immediate consciousness. See it. Hear it. Rest in it. Breathe through your heart and let that stillness expand more and more. Breathe in it. Breathe it in. Be in it. Be one with it. See it inside. Feel it. Watch it. Allow it to take over. Allow it to embrace you fully. Allow it to take the lead. Be willing to follow. Listen, listen. Let your stillness be heard by you.  Love is a way of looking. Love is a way of allowing. Love says: "I love you as you are. You are complete. Nothing is missing in you, not even love." Love gives you the right to your own experience. Love gives you full ownership of your sorrow. Love is complete patience. Love walks with you to death and meets you on the other side. Love allows you to completely mess things up. Love allows you to redeem yourself. Love is the universe and you are a grain of sand; you are both contained in it and a part of it. Love is the scent and you are the flower; the scent permeates the air and you are a testimonial of love’s existence.  |
