How does the inner-self observe nature, merging what is, into the poorly defined word, love, absorbing the feeling inside to further the karma of the soul. Saying that you have to love, or wanting is not enough. It is the inner peace brought about by observation, feeling and self-analysis, loving, for the outer projection of what is good, never meant to harm. A release of the white light of spirituality, to give protection, caring, enfolding for the peace of the mind. One perceptive to oneself will release the bitter fruits, frustration, anger, envy or any of the other spirit retarding vices, by feeling the grass beneath their bare feet, stopping to smell a rose, leaving the pollen, scent and beauty for another To feel the Great Spirit of the Unknown, blowing its gentle breath into the nostrils. The awareness of the nature around them, the projection or love to bestow upon others, the furtherance of the path of the inner-soul, deeply intertwined as to defy a simple definition. It can only be what you feel. What you wish to impart. What you wish to enfold. Which gives the inner self-love, the spark for the bonfires of enlightenment. Projection, beyond the want or need of receiving. A glow to the east before the rising sun. An adoption of the needs of others when they call. You can not perceive if you can not feel. You cannot love mankind and the wonders of the world, if you cannot love yourself. Take nature, take love, take inner-self and live. |

You've got me thinking again...and I know all of this is true, but still I rage. Against what I don't know...but I'm looking again for that quiet place now. Excellent words, Logan! |

and who should question a person's giving... if in that, the person finds how to love himself.... Most inspiring, Logan, and a welcome lesson |

Such wise words, and again, hard to follow for me. But I will get to that space eventually, and your words will be a catalyst. Thanks. Sandra |
