Thank you Irene :)

Sloths are extremely cool - highly underrated beings. I thank you for bringing this to people's attention, on behalf of all sloths everywhere,

I haven't read the book, but I relate to this idea of giving endlessly, because I see it in SO many people. I also see the taking endlessly, and together those two sets of people create and perpetuate the pattern that is called Abuse - which, to my mind, is what our society is practically built upon.

Real love to me has nothing to do with giving or taking. it's just about Being - being real, being present, being attentive. Because when you are truly present to the reality of simply Being (without fear), then there is a natural flow that takes place.

Reminds me of this beautiful poem of Hafiz:
"Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,

"You owe
Me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky."

You know - any time there's even a thought of 'give' or 'take', it's not really love. But when it just flows naturally, then there is nothing but love.

Thank you for really listening Lauren :)

Thanks M,
For clicking on my face (!) and for sharing.
Love

Wuaw. Read it before but didn't have the same impact as it does today. I think I'll make a recording of this for my son when he grows up.

I'm truly delighted to read your words Jasmine. Thank you for sharing them. Ben
