love it all.
this doesn’t mean we have to like it all.
rather, it is an orientation, an approach to life that says, “no matter the situation, i can offer my open-heartedness, my empathy, my tenderness and compassion.” it is an understanding that we can choose to arrive at each moment of our life with authenticity, without pushing anything away.

“Although my eyes, blinded by passions, do not see the brilliant light which embraces me, the Great Compassion never tires, always casting its light upon me.” ~ Shinran Shonin

“The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara brought all suffering beings to the other shore, turned around and saw the world was immediately repopulated by suffering beings. Did she turn away from those who were in samsara, retreat to a cave, and heap in futility, or did she show up again…and again…and again?”
~ Roshi Joan Halifax
love calls us to show up again…and again…and again.
all of us can be Avalokiteshvara, embodied compassion, benefitting a world in need, bringing healing to ours and others’ suffering.
the path and practice of an open heart, showing up with love time and again.

“If darkness hides the trees and flowers from our eyes, it will not hide love from our hearts.”
~ Khalil Gibran
somehow in the balance of holding and letting go, love arises, lighting our path, arriving in small and large ways, apparent and disguised.
love always finds a way.

“I’ve begun to see that love, like the breath, is the very essence of life. It is the life force that connects us; despite its many forms and expressions, it is just one frequency running through us all…”
~ Kaitlin Quistgaard
the truth seen by mystics of every spiritual tradition. beneath it all is vast, spacious, luminous love.
love is all there is.
such a profound, liberating message.
may open to it, may we drop all the barriers we build, and abide in it through this moment, all moments, and beyond.

When you want to climb Everest, you start on small little hills first. Right? You learn how to climb. And as you learn how to climb, gradually, you start to approach higher, more challenging mountains. You don’t start with Everest number one. Right?
So, if you have learned how to deal with small difficult emotions which come up, that gives us confidence and gradually we learn how to deal with the more difficult powerful ones. The mind has to be trained. The whole of Buddhist practice is about training. And as with any training, you start small and then you build up. And then you develop the confidence that you can actually do it.

tears flow
laughter songs
just be.
mindfulness, open-heartedness, these are practices for how we can be with life and its full array of diverse experiences.
rather than running or hiding from, or suppressing, or fighting off, we can approach and engage life with love, tenderness, and curiosity. it can be seen as a brave approach, but it is also a very gracious and generous approach, to allow the tears, to allow the laughter in equal measure, whatever arises with our experience, without judgment or criticism. this gives us the space to engage our life in the most beneficial way.

“The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
so much beauty escapes our sight. we miss so much, but when we allow time to settle, to see, to look around with a sacred view, we see the sacred all around us.

“I looked in temples, churches, and mosques. But I found the Divine within my heart.”~ Rumi
we travel so far and look in so many places for the love that resides right here within our own hearts. our true nature, beneath layers of ego, in a dance with Love, with the Absolute, with the Divine since beginningless time.
what or who can harm this? what or who can touch this and not be transformed in such Light?
