The way of love

A NEWBORN DEER
This morning, upon awakening, my beloved told me there was a baby deer lying in the neighbor’s yard... we went to see...

A new life.
Tiny.
Fragile.
Still wet from the mystery it had just come through.
We stood quietly, looking, watching... There was something sacred in the stillness of it. 

THE UNIVERSE BETWEEN US
I found myself thinking about how strange and beautiful it is that two beings can be separate and yet together at the same time.
Two hearts.
Two minds.
Two histories.
Two nervous systems.
Two souls walking beside one another through this temporary human experience.
Separate.
Yet somehow one field.

THE HIGHEST PERSPECTIVE
I have been asking for the highest perspective on things. Not just intellectually, but spiritually.
Emotionally.
Energetically.
I want to understand what love truly is beyond attachment, beyond fear, beyond personal longing.
And it feels as though the universe keeps responding.
Sometimes through meditation.
Sometimes through silence.
Sometimes through a newborn deer resting in the grass.

SEEKING TRUTH
I notice that when two people genuinely seek truth together — when they ask to see through the eyes of love rather than through the wounds of life — something begins to happen between them.
An energy forms.
A softening.
A deepening.
It is as though Source itself enters the space between them.
Not to erase their individuality, but to illuminate it.

HEART OPENINGS
And yet, there are still moments when dissatisfaction rises. Moments where I want more. More closeness.
More certainty.
More peace.
More meaning.
More expansion.
More life.
Sometimes I struggle to settle into the present moment because I can feel how vast life is meant to be.
And yet, sometimes in those moments, something beautiful often happens if I am still...
His heart opens.
He speaks what is true for him.
Not perfectly.
Not rehearsed.
But honestly.
And I realize how often love is waiting beneath the surface of our defenses, simply asking for enough safety to emerge.

ASSISTING OTHERS
Many of my clients are coming to me right now with relationship pain. Issues of the heart.
Distance.
Misunderstanding.
Loneliness.
​Longing.
And part of me sits quietly wondering:
How do we encourage more love between people?
How do we help human beings remember each other again?

LOVE YOURSELF, OTHERS, GOD
This morning in meditation, I began to understand something deeper.
Perhaps the encouragement of love begins here:
Love yourself.
Love your partner.
Love your Creator.
Not as separate acts, but as one continuous movement of energy.
Because when we disconnect from ourselves, we disconnect from each other.
And when we disconnect from each other, we forget the sacredness of life itself.

LIVING LIFE FULLY
I want to make the most of every moment I am given here.
I want to live awake.
I want to bring new ideas into this world.
New ways of loving.
New ways of seeing.
New ways of being together.
But sometimes it is hard for me to fully arrive.
I know I am home... yet not fully home.
I am here... yet not fully here.

REMEMBERING OUR DIVINE NATURE
Perhaps that is part of the human experience — remembering our divine nature while living inside our humanity.
At our truest essence, I believe we are enlightened beings temporarily walking each other home.
And more than anything, I want this home we are building together to become a hub of love.
A place where peace can enter easily.
A place where truth is welcome.
A place where hearts soften.
A place where the universe itself feels safe to live.

BABY DEAR
This morning, a newborn deer rested quietly in the grass while the world continued on around it.
And for a moment, love felt very simple.
Very alive.
Very near.

THE WAY OF LOVE
What is real, and what is not real?
She creates her own reality, as does he.
Now, how do they create together?

First, they must rise above the nuances of the human experience...
He did this.
She said that.
He felt this.
She felt that.

It does not matter.
It is not matter.

Instead, they must learn to see only the Light-of-Infinity within one another.
He is an eternal being.
She is an eternal being.
We are eternal beings having this experience with one another.

And so it is that within the heart space all things transpire.
Each being is responsible for tending their own heart.
Do not place your heart into the hands of another.
Instead, tend carefully to the garden of your own heart with love, awareness, and devotion. Allow the light and love of the universe — that which you call God, Source, or Higher Power — to assist in tending to the subtle vibrations held within the heart.

In this way, the heart may be healed and uplifted from the traumas of birth and the human experience.
​
We are here with you. Tending to your heart with great care and unconditional love.
