​Be Love, For All
Because All, Is Love


A great teacher inspired me recently to try being love, instead of being in love with. It is so easy to get wrapped up in loving someone or something, or the way they make us feel, but in getting wrapped up we forget that being love is the exercise. When your right hand passes something to your left hand, it doesn't need to remind itself that it's the right hand, and it doesn't look for a thank you from the left hand - it just acts. That's how being love differs from being in love: there are no agents, only helpful and loving action. In unconditional love, there doesn't need to be a giver or a receiver, there doesn't need to be a thank you or reciprocity. All there is, is as much love as we can be in that given moment.

I hope this new year, as we spend time with family, return to work, defend against the cold and snow, that you begin to notice that deep down you ARE love already. Allow yourself to be helpful and loving in the same way that your right hand passes to your left - without looking for anything in return.

"If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love." -Ram Dass

So let's try finding the place within ourself that is love, the place within ourself that asks nothing of others, so when we meet someone we can each sink into that place within ourselves. And then we can both be resting in love, together.
