Love Happens

‎"...whereas some moralists may find it possible to make a distinction between two spheres and reigns - one of flesh, the other of the spirit, one of time, the other of eternity - wherever love arises such definitions vanish and a sense of life awakens in which all such oppositions are at one. " Joseph Campbell

 

Okay, everybody hum "All You Need Is Love" while you read. 

 

Whenever I try to pry the world apart, when I try to put all the experiences I have and all the people I meet into separate boxes with neat little labels, as my mind and ego so yearn to do, I suffer.  I get cranky.  I am alone.

But if I am lucky something reminds me that we are all one.   If I love a beautiful mountain view, I love myself.  If I am annoyed at the throngs at the airport,  I am annoyed with myself.  But be kind to the guy who just smacked me in the head with his carry on bag on the plane and I am being kind to myself.

When I remember this simple practice - the only one I really need - I am filled with peace and warm fuzzies.  Love.  I feel like I can send out love and healing to everyone I see.  Really.

I am you, you are me, we are God. 

Dude, that is deep.  

Namaste
