Thanksgiving has me thinking about what I’m grateful for – turns out there are so very many things – here’s what came out of this year’s contemplation.
Of all the things that life brings
The hardest to accept is love
Pain, alienation, suffering, disconnection, death
These things don’t stand a chance in the face of love
Because love is a destroyer
The acceptance of love means the constant destruction
of the false selves and stories that we cling to
And insists that we open to an ever greater Self
Unbound by arbitrary notions of time and space, of life and death
Insists that we transcend the self that seeks
Through surrender
And by the accepting of our very nature
We find that we were never separate
From the love we all so deeply yearn for
The final illusion is destroyed
And love is all that remains.
