I find that life is always offering us the opportunity to grow. But what I have often observed is most people choose to dwell in things , people, and situations which have already happened. \u00a0So what is the reasoning behind dwelling on the past? It happened, maybe it was good, or bad, maybe someone felt wounded, abandoned, hurt, or what ever happened. \u00a0But as we dwell on the past, we miss now, even though the only place we ever are is now. \u00a0So really, most of us are choosing in the present moment to dwell on what used to be, which is happening now. \u00a0Crazy, don\u2019t you think? \u00a0We choose to think about what already happened, in the now, and then waste energy on it. \u00a0So we find ourselves exhausted, tired, as we try to control everything. We want to control what already happened, or generate a future that will never come, why? Because there is only right now. \u00a0Isn\u2019t it time we become aware of the \u00a0thoughts that are driving us here and there, and everywhere. Our lives are becoming like Dr. Suess books. \u00a0So I ask you, \u201cGot love?\u201d<\/p>\n

When we begin to realize there is only now, and use thinking as it should be used, when needed, then we can grasp the mystery of love. I use the word \u201cmystery\u201d because love is constantly inviting us in right now. \u00a0It is inviting us in, to listen. \u00a0Can we listen to everything without judging it? \u00a0I don\u2019t know. Perhaps. The Divine mother invites each of us in daily. \u00a0She feeds us with inspiration, but the mind wants it now, on its time, and so it plays out impatience. \u00a0But love is really a breath by breath experience, an adventure with no end in sight. It is filled with so much trust, so much laughter, and joy that the intellect can not comprehend it.<\/p>\n

Your only purpose is to discover yourself as love, now. So you can discover the mystery of love by listening to a friend, and you can trust the Divine Mother brought you two together at that moment. If you listen with your whole being, you will notice that suddenly what used to be effort, work, when a friend talked to you; now is wonderful. \u00a0Because you no longer need to control the conversation, it is breath by breath, and conversation leads you both. \u00a0Glorious. \u00a0So learn to trust the Divine Mother, moment by moment. \u00a0Watch how much you don\u2019t trust her. You know you are not trusting her now when you dwell in worry, the past, the future, others, job, etc\u2026trust her. She knows how to open you up to more love.<\/p>\n
