Ah, a little warmer and back out for our walk. So lovely.
I didn’t do a talk this morning, first time in five weeks, so as I sat down to do my morning pages, I asked myself, “If I was doing a talk today, what would the topic be?” The immediate response was “God’s Love”.
I quote from my journal, “What would I want to say about this ubiquitous Beingness that is so constant as to be missed altogether by so many of us. It’s the ocean we swim in and always have, we just don’t fully realize what that means. What would life be like, aware of the Love of God present in every moment, every person, every situation? Well, I wouldn’t spend most of life looking for love now would I? What would I do if I knew that I am totally loved no matter what? I would relax for one thing, let go of the stress and straining to be something so that I will be loveable. Even asking the question made me relax in mind and body. I wouldn’t be stingy with the love I share either. Full-on, open-hearted Love flowing through me would be the norm. I would see people differently as well. What is there to judge or criticize when I know you are Love as I am?”
The journaling goes on to explore the topic further, but you get my drift.
What would your life be like if you knew that you are totally loved no matter what you think, say or do? What would it be like to actually live, not just espouse, that God is Love and that is all there is?
I highly recommend the exercise; it is both revealing and uplifting, especially when we are totally honest with ourselves about the places and ways we do not see ourselves as loveable.
Namaste
