Practice patience… for you find when the final shadow of fear, fades into oneness with the last glimmer of hope, it will be only the perfection of unconditional LOVE that remains; there, being is, as it always is… 

just LOVE…

“Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.” ~ Rumi

It is the fool blinded by flesh that attempts to use LOVE for seeking the acquisition of fleeting fame, finite fortune, the illusions of control; not seeing the accomplishment of unconditional LOVE is its own infinite reward… 

just LOVE…

“But love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current. For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn’t even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control.” ~ Paulo Coelho

Diplomacy founded in LOVE; the discovering of the vast common ground we all share and upon which all life is built; leading to the celebration of, rather than the abhorrence of our differences, is the blueprint for lasting peace…

just LOVE…

Better a forever death, from a belly starved of food; then eternal survival, with a soul starved of LOVE…

“This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you.” ~ Paulo Coelho

Peace is realized when one comes to the acceptance that each moment is absolutely perfect and that no moment is more perfect than the other; when the moments are experienced in LOVE… 

just LOVE…

“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal” ~ John Lennon

LOVE is both creation’s absolute answer and ultimate question. 

You ask; what is this thing life that I find myself now and forever embroiled in? LOVE answers from the eternal mystery; LOVE… 

And then you ask: help me to understand the point to my question? And again LOVE answers from the endless unknown; LOVE…

The answer to our entangled, overly complex pondering is LOVE’s infinite simplicity…

just LOVE…

LOVE, like God and Infinity is beyond reason or definition, as all exist outside the reach of comprehension and explanation. 

LOVE is experienced in the NOW, the moment, not in fading memory of yesterday or distant dream of tomorrow… 

just LOVE…

Long did I suffer my Autumns’ free fall of withering doubt; surrendering almost life to my Winter’s bitter chill of frozen desperation; but with my Spring’s gentle rains came patience blossoming to joy; remembered now in my Summer sun shining, what was always there, bliss sublime, the perfection of LOVE.

LOVE abhors our desperation, but waits ever patiently for our panic to pass…

just LOVE…

“Perfect love is perfectly patient.” ~ Neal A. Maxwell

LOVE is the information that can’t be lost and the energy that cannot be destroyed.

LOVE is the never-ending story of creation and the unlimited intention that makes the story real.

Life is the manifestation of the merging of the imagination and will of LOVE; the dreamer’s need to make her dreams known.

just LOVE…

God created individual souls gifted with immortality so that the joy of sharing LOVE may be experienced infinitely for all eternity. 

And so it is not for the body that we insatiably crave life everlasting, it is so that we may ever continue to LOVE and be loved. 

And I now with the truth of LOVE remembered can fathom no reason other of need or want to BE forever… 

just LOVE…
