An Ocean of Love

We live and move and have our being in an infinite ocean of Love.  Not metaphorically.  Not poetically.  We literally exist in and as Love ItSelf.
Why do we have such a hard time seeing this?  Because we have studied long and hard to see ourselves and the world as flawed and imperfect.  We find witnesses to this everywhere, because it's our story, populated by the characters we have defined and given starring roles.

Why would we want to deny Love?  Why work so hard to be unloving and unloved?  Because it's the collective story of fallen man... he 'separated' from God, from Goodness and Love ItSelf, and became imperfect and very, very unlovable.  Of course, few stop to ask where he could go to separate from Omnipresence and Omniscience.  Few have asked where the power to do this would come from, if God is Omnipotent.  Because when we're immersed in our stories, we don't question the glitches in the dialogue or denouement.  Like watching a movie, we willingly suspend our capacity to reason when immersed in a story.

But just for the moment, let's suspend the story.  Let's be present as we relax, bathing in a warm, gentle ocean of completeness and contentment.  This Love that lives Us, that IS Us, holds us effortlessly, right here, right now.  This ocean of Love is the real atmosphere in which we live effortlessly, Loving and Beloved, in eternal Oneness.  What's most important, it is the most natural and practical awareness there is... the awareness of Love is the end of all fear and the resolution to all problems. 

Relax, and allow Love to lead you, to feed you, to heal you, to supply you.  Relax and allow Love to Be ItSelf in the world.  That is the miracle.
