Found this while I was looking for something else, just seemed appropriate I guess:)
“Is it possible for the rose to say, “I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?” Or is it possible for the lamp to say, “I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people”? Or can a tree say, “I’ll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad”? These are images of what love is about”
- Anthony de Mello
The above quote speaks great wisdom. Love does not discern between good or evil; love does not judge who is to be loved and who is to be hated. Love does not hold back its energy to punish another.
Our core essence is love, we are love, we are from source which is love. We do not need to learn how to be love for that is what we are, we simply must remember what we are, we must remember that we are love!
Where in your life are you withholding the love that you are? Who and what in your life are you avoiding because you believe that your love will not be accepted for what it is?
Today I strive to be the tree and provide shade to all, be the lamp or the Sun and provide light and warmth to all and to be the rose and share my fragrance with all.
Who among us has not benefited from the unconditional giving of the tree, the lamp, the rose?
May we all to remember to be the love that we are!
