Love Isn’t Missing

Love isn’t missing. Love is ubiquitous.

We choose to complicate it, turning something natural and ordinarily effortless into a tangle of expectations, conditions, and conflicting desires. We obscure what honors the spirit by default.

Love is love. It cannot harm. Everything we attach to it, everything it brings to the surface, is ours to understand and address.

Love is allowance, acceptance, ease, and flow. It is no fool, never abashed, never diminished or limited by our attempts to define it.

Love laughs playfully at the game of life. Don’t pretend to understand it while seeking to control or manipulate matters of the heart.

Character may indeed be forged in the fires of adversity, but keep introducing impurities into the alloy and the sword becomes brittle. There is a difference between the challenges that strengthen us and the suffering we needlessly perpetuate.

Choose to elevate the game. Renounce and reconfigure the spirit-dampening cycles of fear, control, and disconnection, whether within ourselves or in the systems we sustain. You are more capable than the obstacles and perceived limitations might lead you to believe.

Choose love.
