My greatest happiness is when in the stillness and silence, aware of only breath, I remember and experience the innate and absolute oneness that is LOVE; LOVE is to boundless happiness, as water is to life.
just LOVE…

The moment we cease confusing our spirit’s, our soul’s LOVE of life, with our ego’s irrational and illogical fear of losing our body, we will ascend to levels of consciousness and beingness far beyond our wildest ability, now, to imagine.
just LOVE…

Right now we are and have long been just lost sailors stuck in doldrums, floating aimlessly, jury rigging our way across the ocean of Infinity, but on the horizon LOVE is the lighthouse beacon forever guiding us home and that is all any of us are truly seeking, home, wholeness, to be complete, one with LOVE and Infinity once more; to reach that destination we will sail for eternity…
just LOVE…

“What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous…” ~ Thomas Merton
LOVE awakens us to the truth that Heaven is not a place, some tomorrow to ascend to, but right here, right now, this and every moment; should we choose to dream and be it.
The question is why would we ever choose to experience being anything other than paradise, when it is always just a simple choice, a tiny remembering of the truth away?
just LOVE…

“All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He walked the famed strip of Vegas engulfed, drowning, feeling imprisoned by its flashing, blinking, glittering facades, temples to the Gods who falsely promise of instant wealth, communions and baptisms of cash held round black jack and poker tables or round the wheel of roulette or shooting in the pits crap. Wafers of the saviors flesh replaced by plastic chips and his blood, the wine, devilishly transmuted to cheap bourbon, cheaper vodka and rancid, cigarette smoke infused beer, to further blind the already desperate and morally bankrupt. Surrounded by fake teeth smiling, phony breasts bouncing, screaming out from vomit and urine stained sidewalks, lies of fulfillment packaged as lust, greed and gluttony, he thought, “What a perfect Mecca, a fitting Vatican for capitalism’s hollow dreams and promises, The worship of matter and flesh, before LOVE and spirit”. With that thought, a wave of deepest depression washed over him, but then came that familiar soothing silent voice that was always there to guide him through these moments of sorrowful doubt, “For one to truly remember and become once more all that LOVE is, one must stop worshiping at the altars of all that one is not.”
just LOVE…

Until we first as individuals and then as a collective decide how we want to be in LOVE, we can have no idea how to do that which is needed for LOVE to be how we chose it to be, as no choice or decision of how to be in LOVE, will have been made.
For how could we have an understanding of the doing needed to be that which has not yet been chosen?
just LOVE…
