This Week’s Quotation:

Your destiny is to become a sun. You are already a sun on the inside. You are becoming a sun on the outside. Right in the middle of your human experience. In the middle of all that is living, growing, and rising, and all that is tragic, broken, wounded, or dying, you are becoming a sun.

…This is the grace that has always been present in your human experience. It contains the knowing that both the wonder of creation and the terror of it reveal something so magnificent, so glorious, that words can hardly tell. And you can appreciate that you would never come to this knowing without having committed yourself to your very human experience. You could not become such a human being of love in any other way. There is no other way for you to become a sun. There is no way for anyone to become a sun.

My Love is Just a Reminder

Ever realize something that rocks your world, only to discover it was there all along?

I’m touching a deeper knowing of Love from within: untouchable, cosmically unstoppable, and unaffected by my humanity, yet needing to move through it. The quality and capacity of how love is expressed through me is perfect in its imperfection. I can’t offer it any other way than what’s currently possible. And neither can you.

To me, that means we’re all doing the best we can at any moment, and still, there is so much more available when we’re willing to shift our patterns of being. I’m done with the pain of feeling love’s absence in myself or in the world. I’m done with the games that build walls around my heart in the name of safety. What about you?

If we don’t stop grasping for love “out there” and instead open to the infinite Love within, no amount from the outside will ever be enough or good enough. We’ll keep finding reasons to justify pushing away the people and moments that stir our unhealed wounds.

So I move forward, as best I can, in the knowing that your love (YES, your presence here reading is a form of love) is a reminder. A taste. A reflection of the cosmic Love wanting to be known within me. Thank you for the reminder.

May we embrace this truth and allow the magnificent to emerge from within us and to each other.

What does it mean to become a sun?

Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
