How do we know that we are loved, my darlings?

Is it not realized within this fullness of breath? As we begin to understand and know the true blessing of a resilience born inside the frailty of our own human existence?

And, as our feet touch the softness of this earth, do we not feel it within each and every step?

So often we feel alone, my loves. We question our connection to all those around us, and the value we lend in return. We become preoccupied and distracted by the formalities of day, losing ourselves in a schedule-driven pacing. In doing so, we fail to appreciate our intrinsic connection to the wonders of life which enrich us.

Simply said, we forget what it means to be alive.

I think love is life, my darlings; the means by which we may begin to widen the aperture by which humanity perceives itself.

We can begin to heal the wounds of this world.

“We have the Earth and the whole cosmos within us.” shares Thich Nhat Hanh. “We are made of the sun. We are made of stars. Touching the true nature of reality, we can transcend the dualistic view that the cosmos is something greater than ourselves or different from ourselves.”

Oh, my darlings, can’t you see…?

You don’t have to feel love; you ARE love.

Namaste ❤️
