What if we spent more time turning it around, being loving to others just in general, instead of making it such a singular thing. And, then, lo and behold, what do you think happens? By happy accident we have become exactly what we were hoping for in the first place.

But I also think that the world would be a better place if we stopped talking so much about love and practice more. <br /><br />There is a dire need for less didactic and more practice particularly in our times. I need a little more mystery, a little less knowledge of other people's affairs de coeur, and a little more smiles and that glow that comes from being at one with love. My two rupees and you know what that buys you these days, smile.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.com
