Look into your own heart and then look into the heart of another
Because when you look deeply enough into the heart of another, what you will find is yourself.

Love is another word for the wide open field of Being in which the tree of 'me' takes root and grows. This limited 'me' tree can't ever find, possess or capture the Love it truly seeks and longs for, not with all the struggle and effort in the world. No matter how much the tree perfects itself as a tree, as long as it sees itself as 'something growing in the field', it will always long for union and release.
Until one day, exhausted from the seeking and suffering, it finally remembers that it never forgot what its roots were always rooted in.
We never reach Love, or find it, we only remember...

Love is in the Moment—Annie
It was early morning, yet already it had been a stupendously bad day. One thing after another. The downward spiral continued when a large pitcher of orange juice slid from my hands and smashed to the floor. Glass and sticky juice spewed to the farthest corners of the kitchen, slithering down cabinets and appliances, puddling at my feet.
Stunned, I looked at the mess. Then I dropped dejectedly down to the floor, my eyes filling with overdue tears. The tears came from begrudging and angry acceptance that "today is just not my day."
Bad day or not, errands had to be done. Filled with angst and negative mental baggage, I got in my car to drive into town. In the few minutes it took to travel to the bank I made a decision. I would be careful not to pass my bad day off to anyone else. I would be cordial and polite. And I would NOT retaliate when that harried driver pulled quickly and rudely in front of me causing me to slam on my breaks, dumping the contents of my drink onto the front car seat!
Standing in line at the bank, I was silently talking to myself. Actually, I was scolding myself. All of the events that had accumulated and contributed to my bad day were, in reality, so very minor and trivial. I was over-reacting. I was indulging in self-pity. I tried to imagine the innumerable, individual lives that had been effected by 9/11, by the war in Iraq, by the tsunami.
For the second time that day my eyes filled with tears as I realized how disconnected I felt from all those individuals who are trying to cope with truly traumatic events in their lives. They all seemed so distant and unknowable, and this justified and intensified my belief that I was being self-centered and selfish. I was sure that all my efforts to be a caring and loving person were for naught.
A voice broke through my mental distractions. Somehow I had mechanically finished my bank transaction and the teller was trying to get my attention. "Young lady," she was saying, "Young lady!"
I looked up and into the eyes of the bank teller, a silver-haired grandmother with a gentle beauty. Her keen eyes reflected concern as she leaned forward and softly said, "I don't know what is happening inside of you, but please, believe me when I tell you that - everything will be okay."
And then she did something quite marvelous. My hands were resting on the counter. She took her hands and placed them gently on top of mine. The touch was quick but electric. And in that moment my world shifted.
In the moment of her touch my self-doubt vanished. I found understanding and acceptance. I knew that love was being channeled through the heart of this beautiful woman directly into my heart. I was infused with a profound awareness - that I am loved. I was speechless. I smiled. It was my first smile of the day. But it would not be my last, as from that moment on my entire day was transformed.
Perhaps without even knowing it, the kind-hearted bank teller allowed herself to be a conduit of divine love. She was instrumental in transforming a day that seemed destined to be a day of tears into a day of smiles. The seemingly small gesture of a this gentle woman not only changed the course of my day, it became a powerful reminder in my life. The profound effect of that one simple, loving touch remains in my heart to this day.
More people than not scoff at the idea of world peace. Laugh if you wish. As for myself, I believe it is possible to transform our world ... one act of loving kindness at a time.
Remember: A simple smile. A warm handshake. A kind word. A gentle hug. Through these, we open the transformative power of love.

I Was Dead
i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i became laughter
all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal
love said to me
you are not
crazy enough
you don’t
fit this house
i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains
love said
you are not
intoxicated enough
you don’t
fit the group
i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness
love said
you are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and skepticism
i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all
love said
you are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every one
around you
i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no more crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now
love said
you are a teacher
you are a head
and for everyone
you are a leader
i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes
love said
you already have
your own wings
i will not give you
more feathers
and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life
now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light

Such a nice soul with great sensitivity Wolgang Edelmayer is.
And thanks for the waves just what I needed to relax a bit after
a busy day.

When Love beckons you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep and when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you ~ and when he speaks to you believe in him ~ Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste in the garden ` for even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you ~ Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning
If in your fear you would seek only Love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of Love's threshing- floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all your laughter, and you shall weep, but not all your tears ~ Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself ~ Love possess not nor would it be possessed ~ For Love is sufficient unto Love~ When you Love , you should not say God is in my heart ~~ but rather ~~ I am in the heart of God ~~ And think not that you can direct the course of Love ~~ for Love ~ if it finds you worthy, directs your course ~~ Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself ~ But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires ~~
To melt and be like a running brook that sings it's melody to the night
To know the pain of too much tenderness
To be wounded by your own understanding of Love
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of Loving
To rest at the noon hour and meditate Love's ecstasy
To return home eventide with gratitude
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips
~~ Kahlil Gibran ( The Prophet )
Love Always

Love sees that the one who loves
is identical with the one who is loved.
Both are the One in disguise,
so there is no 'both'.
One love, playing at being two,
knowing itself as One.
