Love - and the paradoxical action that brings healing.
"Love can only be experienced in the present. Our preoccupations with past and future tend to diminish our capacity to give and receive love in the present, and our hopes and fears tend to interfere with its expression. Yet the deeper we go in our own suffering and sorrow, the more we discover the seeds of love and healing lie under the pain. When love is revealed, even when a person is close to death, suffering can turn to joy. This is one way that love redeems suffering and forgives even the illusions that prevent us from recognizing it."
May you find the seeds of love and healing that have been planted in your life.
