Be-Longing.
Life is always changing. Nothing stays the same. Nothing can be manipulated into constant stagnation or inactivity. Jealousy is an attempt to hold something so that it loses its ability to truly live. Love needs to move and be free- not constrained. And life is always moving toward love.
“
If hate is negative. If that is the assumption. Then if we hate something, even if it is negative, we are creating more hate. More negative. If love is positive. If that is the assumption. Then if we love something, even if it is negative, we are creating more love. And love will conquer hate. And either of this, or because of it, we can be positive.

LOVE! I work at the Space Of Love, All my emails are signed with LOVE. All the juices I drink have the word LOVE in their title. WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO.
Distinction Keys (AKA: wisdom)
How many words do Eskimos have for snow? 30 - 300 words!
How many words to Hawaiians have for snow? One word! Hawaiians have less distinctions around snow, because it’s not important to them.
We have only one word for love.
But the ancient Greeks had a dozen or so words for love. They made a distinction, for example, between the love for children, the love for parents and the love for a spouse.
Maybe that’s why some (of us) people have a problem saying “I love you”.
Don’t trade Love for an endless embrace of the wind.

Sometimes I think the grand people I’m so fortunate to surround myself with, will be a legend-like story that people talk about in awe in the future. Just like the Chelsea Hotel.

-Translated from an african shamen when asked (via @dlopezstudio) This is precisely the lesson I’m trying to incorporate this year. It’s a toughie but a goodie. |
For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks…the work for which all other work is but preparation.

Love
- cares more for others than self
- doesn’t want what it doesn’t have
- doesn’t strut
- doesn’t have a swelled head
- doesn’t force itself on others
- isn’t always “me first”
- doesn’t fly off the handle
- doesn’t keep score of the sins of others
- doesn’t revel when others grovel
- takes pleasure in the flowering of truth
- puts up with anything
- trusts God always
- always looks for the best
- never looks back
- keeps going to the end
Now, Trust steadily in God, Hope unswervingly, Love extravagantly
And the best of the three…
is Love.
