Unconditional love

Love is discovering who you are in the presence of another.

\”Spiritual practice is about increasingly entering into love – not personal love, but the love that is the nature of our being.\”  
~Ezra Bayda~ 

Unconditional love calls upon us to honor each path as sacred. Regardless of how it appears, life is perfect and facilitates the perfect circumstances for our continued growth. Choose to allow enough space in your relationships for each person to thrive. The awakening soul provides a consistent place of safety and acceptance for the other.

This type of soul-based love has no opposite. It will never get triggered into hate or anger, nor will it become mired in the endless loop of desire. It allows the present moment to be as it is.

See those who grace your life as your teachers. Whether they stay for a moment or for a lifetime, you will be transformed. In the same way, never doubt the impact you have on those whose lives you touch. Be guided by the Celtic Vows of Friendship:

I honor your path as sacred
I bring an unprotected heart to our meeting place
I drink from your well
I hold no cherished outcome
I will not negotiate by withholding
I am not subject to disappointment
