In our experiences of LOVE and life what is found, is what is sought, for pleasure or pain, good or evil, ill or not...

“I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who had been seeking God, but God who had been seeking me. I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God.” ~ Bede Griffiths

My starting point for this experience of my shared being in LOVE, was Infinity; my beginningless beginning and endless ending and with that as the foundation of my knowing, I am able to embrace with boundless joy and ceaseless wonder the ever unknowable of the eternal journey that lies ever before me...

Our memories, dreams of our LOVE past, often seem like they were only seconds before, while in truth they are not close at all, but lives lived somewhere far off, in another distant time; such is the deceptive nature of living in the moments gone, the danger of holding on to the mirages of things that were, but are no more; our yesterdays transformed to a siren's call seducing, harkening us to the jagged shores of our regrets; the memories of our pain, grief and shame seeming real, holding us fast in a neverending loop of guilt and suffering, paying time and time again for our imagined sins against who or what we do not really know; locking us in a prison cell of nows that are no more and the future becomes just a mirage of our yesterdays repeating; the same sad line of our LOVE song, a scratched record skipping over and over again...

Regret leads only to stagnation or worse yet regression.

Now that we are awaking to the truth that all experiences of LOVE are by our choice, our next decision made, should not be what next will we do, but how next shall we be.

“Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.” ~ M. Scott Peck
