The Human Heart's Desire for Love
There is hope for real wholeness only in the human heart’s
desire for Love in the present moment.
The experience is utterly simple.
It exists before any words or symbols are applied to it, and it is who we are. In one silent breath, the
love-force in us gives us our identity and draws us toward our home and
destiny. We are created by Love, to live
in Love, for the sake of Love.
It is not easy to own and claim Love as our true identity
and deepest dignity. We cannot describe
it in words. We cannot grasp it or treat
it as an object. It is not something we
can do, a process to go through, or even a specific way to be. It transcends psychological categorization,
philosophical comprehension, and even moral judgment. The only way to own and claim Love as our
identity is to fall in love with Love itself, to feel affection for our
longing, to value our yearning, treasure our wanting, embrace our
incompleteness, be overwhelmed by the beauty of our need.
In other words, the invitation of Love is to be consciously,
energetically alive and involved in Love.
