Love never came from outside of us; we simply touched our own presence, fell into the love that we are, and cannot not be. And nobody ever took love away from us; we simply forgot the field, and ‘blamed’ the other, and looked for love again, feeling its absence, lost in a narrative of ‘lost love’. Yet love was there, even in its apparent absence; it was present, even in the loss. It cannot be broken; a wave cannot crush the Ocean.

Do not seek love, do not look for the light, but be it, offer it; the joy of loving another is infinitely greater than the joy of fearfully clinging to another’s love, for deep down you know it is only an illusion that what you have always longed for could ever have come from outside of you. You are the One; you have always been the One.

The search ends exactly where it began – in presence.

You realize you are love itself, and this changes everything; love is yours,

forever, even when it’s not.

~Jeff Foster

leaning into the mystic soul….

inquiry for today~ may your life unfold like clouds…

when the clouds roll in….

The light of love is always in us, no matter how cold the flame.

It is always present, waiting for the spark to ignite, waiting for the heart to awaken…

~Bell Hooks
